Nothing in Everything

John Herlihy

 

Loss of true love

Nothing in everything

Lost in hopeless despair

Everything in nothing

Lost in cowardice

Nothing in nothing

Lost in courage

Everything in everything

Lost in mystery

Nothing to tell

Found in mystery

Everything to tell

In impatience

Much ado about nothing

In patience

Waiting as something

In everything

Nothing found

In nothing

Everything found

I guess in everything, there's a lot of nothingness. Like, do we really need it at all.

With regard to Odin's comment… twice I remember waiting for seven buses to come by and pass, until the eighth one finally had a lift ramp for me to board the bus.

Interesting play on words. Reminds me of that saying: there's always another bus coming.
