The evening's shadows
passing through my empty soul
offer only tears.

Oops! You got that one wrong, Icebox. Tears come because the soul is too full, not empty!

The paradox then Helen, I am full of emptiness. You are always the mirror that reflects the truth. Thank you my friend.

Is my cup really empty after my morning tea or merely filled with air, a substance I can't see?

She's right, you know. And emptiness can fill the soul, though it's a poor conversationalist and doesn't conduct heat.

....and sometimes an empty soul fills itself -- with poetry, for instance.

Is it truly my reflection in the mirror
Or who I wish to be

A secret place high atop the forest hills and valleys touched by all you have been and content to be all that you are.

This has to be just superb poetry--for a man to be able to write as you do, must surely have a very deep and healthy soul.

You are incredibly gifted, dear poet man!

Awwww...this put a lump in my throat just reading it. So sad. :'( Brought me to near tears. So heart-wrenching in so few words.
