Nothing

Within, Without

I have been thinking of space. I have been thinking of mind expansion. I have been thinking of God. I have been thinking of feelings, thoughts themselves. And I have come up with nothing.

Nothing.

The thing that fills in all the blanks. 

Nothing.

The thing that takes over when there are no answers.

Nothing. 

The thing that cannot be said. When you try to say nothing, you end up saying something.

I have been thinking of far off galaxies. Far off planets and infinity. 

Nothing. There is nothing I can say and it explains it very well. That's what is available when God meets Godless.

Nothing.

When there is a difference of opinion, a clash of ideals.

Nothing.

Outside in the vastness of SPACE, there is Nothing. There are planets, galaxies, stars, dust, rock and minerals. And between all of it.

Nothing.

No-thing. We can conceptualise planets, terra forma, gas giants, people, plants, volcanic rock and nuclear fusion. And what of the elements? What of the thing that fuses particle to particle? What is the in between?

Nothing.

What is the distance between thought and action?

Nothing.

What is there, lying between each planet, each star and each solar system?

Nothing.

Emptiness. What is there, in a room, between you and your wife, between sofa and TV, between bathroom and bedroom? Sure you have a floor and walls and if you are lucky, a ceiling. What exists between all of these things?

Nothing.

SPACE cannot be conceptualised. You cannot physically explain something that has no form, no mass and no dimensions.

Between each word spoken and each word typed there is Nothing.

Nothing.

No-Thing.

If you have understood Nothing from this post, then you have learned Something.

I wrote this when I was 12 or something

obviously i edited the shit outta this, but it is 80% original

99% of people will agree...

The baby screams aloud
The house falls into silence
Mother lies, with dying eyes
A victim of domestic violence

Father doesn't care
He's shooting up outside
Rent and pay, lost today
Washed out with the tide

Examples of waste
Brutality and hate
Portrayed in mind, from father unkind
Life took no toll 'til late

Prerequiste

Demand for me to be
somewhere very near
be it past or future,
but never really here

Lock me in a small room
with people dead and gone
somewhere that's not here
when I am never quite alone

and see me in a future
in your minds eye, locked out
in the void between us
and be totally without

Burden

Moving through bodies
and moving through lies
taking different forms
to make a better life

thinking in different patterns
never feeling still
feeling so emotional
slowly growing ill

sticking to each concept
making newer tags
removing all compassion
and carrying every bag

spinning everybody
with your hands upon the wheel
of a machine of pure conviction
moving slowly up a hill

Eternity Now

As I sit alone, a lonely relic
And as if I were the last living being
I consider all that is and ever has been

one, two, three, four, the seconds tick by
and I have considered the universe in the blink of an eye

All of time in a single moment
created and destroyed, my heart laments
we've been and gone, like a wave
that crashes upon the shore
We have always been and will be once more

Eternity clasped in a single hand
God, relinquish the destiny of man!
his life travels through a single tube
beside his brothers, old and new

All of fate lies in a single day
before all is lost and gone away
one, two, three, four, five single seconds passing by
All life has gone in the blink of an eye

Eternally yours and maybe more
Humanity lost on an open shore
the hands of God, in yours and mine
Sharing our moments through the passage of time

Love at First Sight

An irresistible scent pervades the air
you emit a glow, you push back your hair
my eyes become fixed, my stomach jumps
I urge to hold you only once

One time, that is ageless in it's glory
For a moment you are all I know
And I may never see you again
But you've become the end of my story

Senseless Longing

All I have that is mine
Sight, Sense and Sound
Why cannot I use these
While you are not around?
