Poem: "Sappy Nonsense"
I am nothing, and at the same time, overflowing
How can it be so
that I can look at the stars
off into the vast ether
and be reminded
of how insignificant I am
and yet when I look at you
I see everything worth seeing
How?
How can nothing
recognize something
and attest such worth
when I have nothing to give
like an empty glass
faced with an ocean
I am nothing
and at the same time
overflowing
full of you.
If I can possibly fathom
your depths
I'd be happy to know
the dive was completely worth it.
I've been in many seas, lakes, and ponds
but of you I'm particularly fond
and ready to drown in your waves
so refreshing I might just get
a breath of fresh air.
