NOWHERE
I strove to be seen
Forgetting I am invisible
To be known
When I am unknowable
Who can get me, I think
When I am nowhere
When trees wave in sunlight
The wind that moves them
Has no name
NOTHING
It took a long time for him to discover nothing
But he had it now and they couldn’t take it away
Or if they did, it didn’t matter
It was light and travelled well, nothing
It wasn’t preachy
And it never stopped him or closed his heart
He could hold it up and show it to people
Whether they could or couldn’t see it
Bouncing on his palm
It was almost perfect, nothing
True, you couldn’t pay for your drinks with it
But it was what you really needed
He found out again and again
To make you happy
