There are times when nothing can turn into something!
*Something Nothing!* *I am Something* *I met up with Nothing* *He wasn’t hard to find* *I asked him what he was doing* *He said, he wasn’t doing anything* *I asked him where he was from* *He said, he was from nowhere* *I asked, where’s that, nowhere* *He said, same place, nowhere* *Then who’s there I asked him* *He said, he had ever been there* *Nothing aside Nothing* *Just a Nothing* *Even so, there’s hope* *One day I’ll be something* *I am Something* *For sure he’s just Nothing* *I asked him, if he’d known anything* *He said, he knew Everything* *So I asked him, who Everything was* *He said, the father of everything* *That’s him, who’s Everything* *I asked him, where the father is* *He said, the father is everywhere* *Doing all things from nothing* *By Nothing, he made everything* *Yet I am still Nothing* *Just a Nothing* *Even so, there’s hope* *One day Ill be something* *I am Something* *You bet he is just Nothing* *Here, he had got me confusing* *As if I weren’t already overly musing* *He is Nothing, the father is Everything* *So I say take me to father Everything* *He said, but you are already with him* *Seemly I thought doesn’t Nothing cared* *Then he said, he cared for all things* *But never any one cares for Nothing* *Other than father Everything* *I am still Nothing yet* *Just a Nothing* *Even so, there‘s hope* *One day I’ll be Something* *All rights reserved*

Even an old chunk of coal can be a diamond some day.
Much to think about and ponder in this write.

After reading this several times I begin to see the sense and the insight from which it comes. I believe I will be enjoying this and coming away with new thoughts each time I revisit this poem, which I am sure I will do.
I have always thought art should above all, make us think and feel and examine and question any and every thing. This is a great example in my opinion. Many blessings to you Clarence.
Be well,
Kathy

This poem must have taken you some times to put it together so well; it certainly worth the time taken to read it. Thanks for sharing it.

Clarence...something from nothing?...our entire cosmos
have sprung out this way....if the quantum mechanics/physics
is right...science having little to say...for sure...but your
inspiring poem not only intellectually attracts...but came
up with its own creation story...leaving the matter
in the "right hands"....as the Bible says...faith can move
mountains..."nothing is impossible"....

An intelligent and clever perspective, Clarence. One of your best. It's wonderful to know that Christ can take all our nothing and make it something worthwhile in Him. All the best... rlc

A very nice device used in your poem, unique and very creative.

If you want to get into Something, you must go to a woman. For I understand that men have a place they go, called Nothing. If you asked them what they're thinking, they will say, "nothing."

Probably the reason that men say that is because they are thinking of sex and do want to admit it. So any time some man says that they're "not thinking of anything." You can rest assured that their thinking of sex. ;-)
