It Was Nothing

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Have you ever seen someone and they reflect back into your mind that you know them.

Poem Artwork

 

 

It Was Nothing

 

Yet, it was there.

What was its purpose?

It was not a rock façade.

It did wrinkle weather.

Whether To Be or Naught,

They occupied living space,

And therefore -

Must be something.

But what, pray tell?

 

Seems they are nothing.

But this birth certificate,

With a name inscribed on it.

That somehow it fades away

But Still time stamps a place.

Yet, it was nothing.

It seemed To Be -

A placemat -

Being walked on.

 

You know, what the name is.

Why the name, is on the tip,

Of your blank mind frame.

Was it friend, family – foe?

Its face looks, so famil-liar.

Their reflection looks back.

You seek that deep depth.

Who are they?

That mimics me -

And My -

Reversal image.

 (Notice anything in the picture above?)

I did not realize that your picture was on a money bill, David. Nicely expressed; makes one think. Love and peace to you,

Regis

LOL!!! Yes, David, we all know about your resemblance to Benjamin Franklin. You admire him greatly, don't you? And I think a lot of us do too.

Yes, from time to time, I, too, have a reflected image on my mind about myself, and I often wonder was that really me? Did I really do that? Or question who was that person that looks like me?

Sandie :o)
