The Art of the Mind
A glass sits on the table...That's it...It just sits there...Once upon a time, it was filled with the sweetest juice the mind can concieve...But not too sweet, because it was still some of the best juice the mind could concieve...Just one sip wasn't enough...The drink was just that good...Paradise to the thirsty soul...

But that was once upon a time...

Right now, it just sits there...void of motion...void of any sort of other adjective, clever and simple, except "empty"...The glass has lost its flavor...The glass has lost that hue the drink once gave to it...The glass has lost everything that made it special, except its shape...So everything that is gone, was from the inside...thus, leaving it empty...Without that drink, it's just like all the other glasses, except that they never held such flavorful bliss...So, in fact, it's kind of worst off than the others...Whatever the case may be...It is still an empty glass...Anguish for the thirsty soul...

So the glass sits there empty, once filled with sweetest drink...But, being once filled, a few drops still remain...That sugar still coats the inner walls of the drinking vessel...The sweet sugary fragrance still lingers...And when tested, the taste is still evident...The glass isn't empty after all...It's not full like before, but, nonetheless, it is still not empty...Some juice, some flavor, some fragrance, they're still there...It hasn't been rinsed out yet...So, in fact, it is still a glass of the best drink the mind can concieve...

Hope of the thirsty soul....
