Nothingness


NEVER imagined such treasures I'd find

OF this one thing I am certain

THERE was something massive beneath the surface

HEAVENLY places are often hidden in humble places

I sat at a table and talked about this, that, and the other

NOTHING prior had taught me the power of nothingness

GOD alone can make something out of nothing at a men's breakfast

NEWLY discovered fortunes surfaced from deep within our souls

EACH week we met to talk about anything, but nothing in particular

SOMETIMES it pays to stop the plan, stand down, and settle in

SINCE discovering such nothingness, I'm a richer man.

Hello Curtis, I loved your words and imagery of finding the treasure in nothingness. Yes, sometimes we have to slow down and let life unfold to discover what God has in store for us. Well Inked? Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
