And then there was Nothing,
No feeling, no sound,
Just an unwanted guest.
His life came unwound.
.
Tied to the earth,
The chains gave no slack.
He stared straight ahead,
And Nothing stared back.
.
This menacing figure,
Did not put up a fight.
Simply stood on life’s pathway,
And drank in the light.
.
He relied on his strength,
Fought against the despair.
But, not moving an inch,
Nothing still remained there.
.
Its temper flared,
And he began to drown.
It thrived on this victory,
Tried to break him down.
.
But Nothing believed,
He would finally give in,
Never once thinking,
Happiness might win.
.
And then, there was Nothing,
Broken down and weak.
Finally defeated,
Its future looked bleak.
.
The light had returned,
And reopened his eyes,
Giving him strength,
To fight against the lies.
.
With Nothing defeated,
And with his mind clear,
He could finally see,
Something had always been near.
