The philosophy of nothing

Nothing is relatively easy

Nothing is the smile reflected in a stream

Nothing is the before, of every hope and dream

Nothing is not going out all the time

Nothing is stationary when all is lucid and spinning

Nothing is not competing when everybody’s losing and winning

Nothing is delivering the killer blow

Nothing is every change you’re ready to make

Nothing is the journey through sunshine you must forsake

Nothing is going missing for a while

Nothing is the opaque gamble through a thunderstorm

Nothing is your heart, ready to be reborn

Nothing is the continuos chance of renewal

Nothing is always open for negotiation

Nothing can be a town with only one chip shop open

Nothing is all we start off with

Nothing is what we shall get

Nothing can be shared with somebody you haven’t yet met

Nothing’s pendulum swings all ways

Nothing is every action you usually conceal

Nothing is your fate crushing up-against golden steal

Nothing is what you make of it,

nothing is your reaction to life’s raw deal.
