On nothing in particular.

(or maybe something)

It's never asked all too seriously.

Just a question, passing by.

-

What do you do for fun?

I say I like to write.

-

What do you write about?

Well..

Nothing much, I guess.

-

Nothing like the space between

two hands that yearn to meet,

or the breath of silent calm

when life becomes too steep.

-

Nothing like a quiet thought

that turns out to be true,

or loving someone long enough

to watch them turn anew.

-

Nothing like the way a page

can guide a lost mind free,

or when a hidden feeling

takes the shape its meant to be.

-

Nothing like a dawn unbound

by a solemn thread of light,

or when your senses stay alive

to walk you through the night

-

Nothing like a single call

that mends a fractured heart,

or pressing petals flat in time

so beauty can’t depart.

-

Nothing like the gentle steam

from your favourite cup of tea,

or the silent truth of knowing

how much writing means to me.

-

Nothing like the things I feel

but never could confess,

nothing like,

well..

Nothing much, I guess.

    I love this. This piece has summarized everything that I find hard to tell people when they ask about my love for writing.

    This is so quietly beautiful. I love how ‘nothing much’ turns into everything :-)

  • Imola Tótha day ago

    I love this! I often feel this way, like I'm writing about little nothings, that are actually so meaningful but most people don't even think of them. Well written!

  • Whoaaaa, this was such a deep meaning for nothing. Loved your poem!
