Once nothing wondered if it mattered.
Nothing wondered what It was like to be somthing.
because the only thing to stop nothing,
was nothing
its wish was granted.

So nothing became something.

Somthing was so eager to learn
so eager to see
taste
smell
feel
so Something wished to feel Everything
and out of that wish came Everything.

Everything grew and grew without limits
and as Something became a part of Everything
It forgot.
it forgot its mission, its reason of being.
"Do I matter?"

Somthing divided and became Many.
Many started to search for the importance of Nothing.
But Something went wrong and Many were confused.
As hard as Many tired to find the answer they failed.
Something was lost and Many had forgotten the question.

Many thought they had a better question.
Many lost touch with something,
and Many lost Everything,
Many could care less about anything or nothing.

Many only cared about staying Many.

Many started to believe that there was always Something,
and Nothing never existed.
And that is how Many lost its' self.
Many lost the quest.

Some would find a glimmer of hope.
They would join together and find Something
they found Something beautiful.
but they were few.
and sometimes Something would not be found for a long time
they would try to find it by dancing and singing and lighting candles.

But sometimes few were lucky
they would realise that together they themselves were Something
and that they were beautiful....

..and that they were Something because they had eachother
and in each other they had Everything
and when you are something that has everything...

...the answer is simple
Nothing is really ever important...
Nothing really ever matters.

Harassed by time I am doomed to wait as I long to see your familiar face and feel my lips touch yours. I fall down on my knees praying to anyone who can help me. With no one answering my prayers the torment unleashes an agonizing blow right through my heart. A burning tear slowly sheds down my cheek. I need you right now, I do not know how much longer I can withstand this misery. Leaving all of what I know I set out in search of you. Suppressed by my own soul doubting my hearts desire to find you; I would give up my future after death just to live the rest of my days in this lifetime with you. You are too perfect for my hands to hold for I try my hardest to make you happy. Continuing my journey to find you many attractive women try to steal my heart but I only want you. Pushing everyone aside that gets in my way of finding you I cross paths with you by coincidence. You nor me saying a word, staring into each others eyes, beautiful as they are everything that needs to be known is revealed. Innocence, pain, heartbreak, beauty...only waiting for the one to make her feel she is worth their world even the slightest. Broken shattered..I find the pieces of her heart carelessly thrown around and played with. I will never quit on you..if it takes me forever I will mend your broken heart and hold it as if the world would crash down if a spec of dust brushed it ever so slightly. I will never leave you, I will never stop loving you. Take off the mask and let me repair what has been broken..I promise you this love will never die, just believe me when I tell you...I love you.

Trees (haiku #1)

Tree wood with fire
Nature equips survival   
Light, heat, and cooking

-------------------------

Trees (haiku #2)

Leafy beings, green
Wood umbrellas, ancient roots
Growing, reaching sky

-------------------------------

Trees (haiku #3)

Pluck the tender fruit
Motherly branches feed all
Body and soul, blessed

---------------------------------

Trees (haiku #4)

Shelter for our homes
Furniture within our walls
Uses-myriads

--------------------------------

Trees (haiku #5)

Pencils, books, paper
Education thanks to trees
Writing, poetry

-------------------------------

Trees (haiku #6)

Trees crafted, songs sung
Guitars, violins, harps-more
Wood, melodious

---------------------------------

Trees ( haiku #7)

Birds, critters depend
Harmonious relations
Trees magical grace

------------------------------

Trees (haiku #8)

Bountiful beauty
Standing upright or chopped down
More precious than gold
