Like honeydew

Honey and dew

a glass for each

one pours into the other

vessels of success are close

drink, dear friend, drink!

And so she drinks it all

lives it all

I live, she says

not by my own word

but by that of others

of whimsical fancy

and of

Half full or half empty

pouring or drinking

my glass is at hand

and I am as sweet as honeydew

I live like all do

I die like all do

I am like

honeydew

And so she is
