The nothing and the everything
To ask for nothing is to have nothing.
A turned-out, palms-up, empty-pockets nothing
so dire and hopeless it’s without
the notion of worth or gain;
an abandoned house of a heart
where not one whim or vagary,
not the zephyr of a wish
floats ephemerally through its chambers;
where holding onto the least something
is an effrontery, an impurity,
an abyss between you and your Lord
Who has become your Everything.
O child of God, to ask for nothing is to become
the nothing and the everything you are.
