Nothing
Third in the Kibito's Thoughts series of poems
By LadyRivka
I start with the rational pretense
That I am nothing. Then I move on,
Noting mortal planets are nothing, stars nothing,
Galaxies nothing. Yea, even our holy sphere
Of Kaiooshin-kai is nothing, even though we walk on it…
If I am nothing, indeed, if the Universe is nothing,
Than you, sir, are nothing as well, this I am
Pained to admit.
But how can a god and my illuminating star be nothing?
How can he who possesses the Universe be nothing, no one?
If one possesses nothing, they have to be someone,
Because someone has to possess nothing.
Out of all the life in this vast Universe you, Kaiooshin-sama, are the Something.
If matter is nothing, you have no need for it as
Your body is merely the reflection of your spirit into nothingness.
Now I begin to feel pain, as I realize a part of me
Too is Something- my very soul.
Tonight when we lay asleep, dreaming,
Let Something come from Nothing-
Let our souls dance together,
Two Somethings within purest nothingness.
-L.R.
