NOTHING

 

Nothing.

A vast amount of nothingness had nothing to do one day

so it tried to think of something it might do or even say,

nothing really happened when it opened up it’s mouth

but then a great amount of nothingness

came haemorrhaging right out.

The nothingness was quite perplexed

by the nothing it had achieved,

so it reached down deep inside of nowhere

but nothing was retrieved.

There surely had to be something

more than infinite stores of naught,

that might lead the nothing to somethingness

then I’ve got it! the nothing thought.

I'll split myself down the middle and then I’ll be a two,

with half of me being the same old nothing

and the other half will be something new.

 The newness of my other side

will supersede the zero

and I'll be there after a thing of beauty

a living, inspirational hero.

Nothing will cause me to doubt my own worth

and a brand new song I’ll forever sing,

about what can happen  to those who lose hope

and that will really be, ... something.
