'nothing' is something

'nothing' is something,
Thinking creates existence,
The moment we think it, name it;
It vuilds up its presence bit by bit.

When we imagine nothing,
We already think something.
Maybe nothing exists,
Not in the mind though,
For it fills everything we sow.

It exists as the idea of not existing
A thought of absence, named into being. 
The moment its named, 
It feels like a thought tamed. 

Maybe nothing can be thought, for even void leaves an imprint caught.
