Nothing - 2

To give your life is often
thought the greatest gift

It’s not

Your life is not your own
to give of keep

Everyone dies

Your soul is your only
true possession
and it is the giving of this
that is the greatest gift

To whom will you give it
Or, will you try
to keep it for yourself?

(Poem) Eidelons - III

III. My happiness drains from me (what little I had) and I am a parched sponge The fierce sunlight is an oven I cannot escape Airborne dust leaves fine red welts stinging The desert is scarcely home but I can find no other The sun is no friend but I can find no more faithful companion The winds of change hold no comfort (Only pain) But behind them whispers Hope.

Nothing - 1

Nothing is what is left when everything’s gone Nothing changes when time stands still Nothing existed before the beginning Nothing stops the unstoppable Nothing fills the emptiness in my heart Nothing is something and when you don’t have much it’s hard to give up even that.
