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. Written April 3, 2021

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.

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.

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!
