L Milton Hankins Poet Monchielle Stanza

Sometimes From Nothingness

Sometimes from nothingness 
Fantasies will appear 
The fertile mind awake, 
Envisions hopeful scenes 
Future paths we may take. 

Sometimes from nothingness 
Come visions from afar 
Teaching us life lessons, 
Help us find better ways 
When ignorance threatens. 

Sometimes from nothingness 
Whispers of truth prevail 
Command mind’s attention, 
Channels our baser mood 
To nobler dimension. 
 
Sometimes from nothingness 
Creative juices flow 
Direct one’s energy, 
Engage grander pursuits 
In partnered synergy.

Robert Pettit April 3, 2021 at 8:53 PM You have managed to write a good poem out of nothingness. Enjoyed the read. L Milton Hankins April 3, 2021 at 9:26 PM LOL. True, Robert. Well, I suppose whether or not folks learn from it, use it, and grow from it will determine just how effective it was.

Virginia Gelok April 3, 2021 at 8:37 PM I so often find while I am at rest, or on a park bench alone, " Sometimes from nothingness" is all the inspiration I need. I enjoyed this poem. L Milton Hankins April 3, 2021 at 9:25 PM Thanks, Virginia. To clear the mind and just stare can sometimes be amazing prompts for the creative spirit. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem, and it is good to know it spoke to you!
