Wow, very interesting... it seems to embody many contradictions (like real life, I suppose). Like in the first stanza it seems pessimistic ("I lie in the emptiness... the moon, no longer present.") yet also a bit optimistic ("the bath, half full" [as opposed to "half empty"]). Or in the last stanza: "ALL the pain..." (plural) versus "MY ONCE clouded life" (singular). Once again, I feel the true meaning escapes me, but it is something to contemplate... thank you!

Thank you! :)
DeleteI always find it interesting to see how others perceive my poems and I'm glad it got you thinking and analysing it, that's the best part about poetry!
