Nothing
To say
Nothing to do
Just sitting here
Listening
Listening to the likes of you.

Nothing to say, not today
No one comes, no one says
Anything relevant or astute
But then
I look outside and see
The world in all it’s beauty
Snow drifting by
Trees standing proud
Birds flying round
That’s when I realize
There’s nothing more to say
It’s already said
I just need to sit back
Enjoy this spectacular scene
This journey, this ride
I’m lost for words
My heart does sigh
It sees all, it seems.

Nothing to say not in any way
All has been said
Then left to be
Easy to live with or diving down
Into pure agony.
Nothing can stop all these
Bad thoughts
But you can replace them
With something pleasant
Making your face into a huge smiley.
No, nothing to say
Not this morning, this evening
Not today.
