“Nothing lasts, 
 nothing is finished,
 and nothing is perfect.”
 These are three simple realities.
 Yet there are things in my life 
 which have lasted 
 for decades.
 There are things in my life
 which move me spiritually.
 There are things which 
 appear perfect, even in 
 their imperfections.
There is a sense of 
 everything, 
 in this nothing.
 There is an authenticity
 in this nothing.
 There is a longing and melancholy
 in this nothing.
 There feels like something
 in this nothing, 
 but that something is the 
 essence of nothing.
