No Things Needed 10/16/2023

Nothing is
As nothing seems
For nothing is something
When you learn
To feel with the heart.

A kindness
A compassion
A powerful presence
For this some thing
Is really nothing
But love for ourselves
And others as well.

Love is the one thing
We all wish we had more of
But then we need to strive
For this nothing
To achieve this something
That is called love.

Let go
The need of things
For these things
Can distract us
In finding the thing
We need most in our life.

Each second
Each moment
Is precious and beautiful
When all we have is
Nothing
But love in our hearts.
