Null and void?

Null and void,
I wonder if that’s me.
A space within has emptied out
The mouse can’t find the seed.

Everywhere is seed that drifts
From the air to currents stream
Everywhere is nourishment
Why does that not seem?

I have the best of everything
Employment with a cause
Wonderful people who surround me
Still, there is a pause.

         But…

Everywhere the seeds will drift  
       to spell out ‘growth is free’
Mowers daily yellow cut
Feathered bubbles,
Food for mouse and me.

Both seeking morsals, both seeking crumbs both poor as church mice hymns that sound as drumbs

I could find the flow;  I could find the image;  I couldn't find the meaning, and it is not ment unkindly.

I probably missed the finer points and the images were graphic to me, but the point and I mean it kindly was not.

Dave,

   It may not have a meaning, who knows?  I can't seem to express my own feelings to myself, let alone to strangers!  I didn't take what you said defensively--You probably have a good point!

Thanks for your honesty.

emptiness sometimes fills
all the spaces

leaving us
left out
without a seed

yet you did indeed
seed thoughts
within this blue garden

thought provoking and have oft pondered the same...

we humans are a complex arrangement of all that is, it is what we choose to believe...what the mind sees to be...

cleaver write, enjoyed.
