Two Sides

Folder: 
Before 2006

some dead,



some alive,



I think I've read



somewhere



that you may contrive



That,



as being



a partial glass of water  



though it might have been



not quite right



in that,



half the glass is empty,



or half the glass is full,



for it is not one or the other,



both factors make it whole.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

this poem was inspired by a tree that was about half dead and half alive, and it made me think about how people usually look at one or the other side of a situation, but you can't make a whole situation out of one perspective, so thought I would write about the two sides of something and how both sides are correct and need each other to make a whole something.
