nothing

do you think
nothing, do
nothing, dream
nothing, pray
nothing,
want EVERYTHING
yet strive for

nothing . . .

do you sing
nothing, plant
nothing, create
nothing, love
nothing, kiss
nothing, hug
nothing,
yet cry because you feel you have

nothing . . .

do you fly to
nothing, spread your arms to
nothing,
kick your legs
to nothing, make love to
nothing, write about
nothing, speak about
nothing worth speaking about
nothing,
do you believe you are

nothing . . .

you are here
now
today
this minute
is
not

nothing

right now
is something
for today
is tomorrow
is today
is the present
the future
is me
typing letters
fingers frail
palms upturned bleeding
screaming
to you
right now

TO
WAKE
UP!

dance, sing, write, play, kiss, love, like, scream, shout, run,

FLY

for the Love of God
spread your wings

and fly.

please.
