-- The Circle of Nothing and Something --

by John Herlihy

 

Life, from nothing something

Death, from something nothing

From nothing something

From something nothing

We come from nothing

Then we are something

We know nothing of nothing

We know of being something

Nothing seems like nothing

Something seems like something

Nothing is not something

Something is not nothing

No something without nothing

No nothing without something

The line of nothing to something

The circle of something to nothing

Nothing at the end, that’s something

Something at the end, that’s everything

LET'S SEE NOW; COMING FROM SEEMINGLY NOTHING, BUT THEN IT IS HIS BREATH THAT GIVES US LIFE AND THAT IS...SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING. THEN EVENTUALLY GOING BACK TO SEEMINGLY NOTHING, BUT IS HIM...WHICH IS SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING. YES, THE CIRCLE OF LIFE IS...NOTHING, SOMETHING BUT THEN...EVERYTHING. INTERESTING AND ENJOYED, MY FRIEND. THANKS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Your poem started my day doing mental calesthenics bouncing from something to nothing and back again. Certainly a unique, and enjoyable, way to begin!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
