While your cup is full

Drink and let others drink

Tell me WHY this cup is full...then I will.

"Like an ocean"

it makes me think about a german song, whose some text is the following :

Du bist mein See (You are my sea)
Und ich schwimme in dir. (and I swin in you)

or (I don't exactly remember)

Ich bin dein See (I am your sea)
Und du schwimmst in mir. (and you swim in me)

Your cup may be empty or full.
Your cup is empty, because you want, otherwise, it can be full.

WHATEVER YOU LIKE !

I don't know how old you are.

But I guess It's too soon for you to have a full cup.

This is your problem , isn't it ?

A person tries to be separate from
questions: why life is exist, instead of to be absent? what is the essence of life? What is the true life?
It doesn't mean that a person does not guess it.
On the contrary, guesses, but tries to not think...
(*Martin Heidegger)



if there is something wrong in my poems, just say it...no need in walking about.
Me, my lifestyle, my thoughts and my poems- my philosophy.

I'm not a philosopher, but a usual man with limited mind in this world. Meanwhile I try to think about many questions, such as you wrote.

But, Guess is the onset of Think.

When you guess, you are preparing to think.

Then, perhaps you could detect the truth.




That sentence I said before ( While your cup ...) means that If you are able to help the others or you have ability to serve, you'd be better to do it.
This is a human property.

:lol: Shokin your song reminds me of swans I often see at German lakes. Everytime I saw them I wanted to eat them. Must be very tasty.

And shokin your poem reminds me of a poem I adapted and rewrote from Franz Kafka:

I needs you, who seems to me like a sorrow, which hurts me very much, like the death of one, whom I preferred more than me, like if I'm thrown out into the woods, away from all human, you must be the axe for the frozen sea inside me.

Dear xkalibur :

That expression is an Iranian or Persian idiom.
