So much more
than nothing...

Was you atuned
to gentle whisperings
of me

more than nothing,
was your tender humility

gladly accepting
these empty hands
in exchange for a brimming
heart


I recall when the sun
rose only for you
because of you,
heaven existed on earth

so much more
than nothing...

Is a love that
continues in desperate
silence

memories, though hazy
continue to be cherished
as precious jewels

These go ahead of faith
as my way is found
through life's maze...

clinging to
something...

Oh yes, so softly said from the heart.

"More Than Nothing..."

"clinging to
something..."

Ah, and so it was so much "more than nothing"
You have a sad heart, I recognize it in my own. You did this suberbly.

Something, however vaguely defined...always better than nothing.  At least to us.

nothing sucks!   We need something to hold onto right?

clinging to the heart Tier. . .

wonderful in its form and quiet in its message. . .
