Everything & Nothing

Everything

I am everything.

A melting pot.

I am deep.

A swirling puddle

of Crayolas.

Bold.

Commanding.

Impenetrable.

I am rage and hate.

Powerful.

I can stimulate

and inspire.

I am a mathematical equation,

my sum can be calculated

if you have all the parts.

Without all

I do not exist.

I am nothing.

---

Nothing

I am nothing.

The deep abyss

under your bed.

I lie in corners

like a prowler

in the shadows.

I am empty.

The bleakness

calling out to the sun.

I hide when you

turn on the lights.

An unlit pixel.

Absent. Lonely.

Waiting for the waves

to find me.
