The Beauty of Nothingness

                                                             soft spoken words are not

                                                             the most edible, 

                                                             but -  oh, my friend -

                                                             how their taste lingers

                                                             to either feed the spirit 

                                                             or hide the gremlins 

                                                             

                                                             distance strikes its pose

                                                             readies its destiny in a

                                                             literary supposition that 

                                                             whispers 'neither should

                                                             be over-edited or mislaid'   

                                                            

                                                            

                                                             because deep sleep rests,

                                                             perhaps head emptying

                                                             educated guesses end as ash,

                                                             throw-away words, oft 

                                                             invisible but .. clearly 

                                                             seen by the mind's eye

Your writing has good form Emma.

One day you will make a very fine ash.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks, I think. Although not sure of the 'very fine ash' bit; not yet, please - I have plans!

[Thomas W Case]

Beautiful work, my friend.

[emmajoygreen]

You're always so kind, Thomas, plus you have your own subtle way of grading my scribbles by how you comment! Have a great day, please very much.

[Neha agrawal]

It’s beautiful like a quiet memory you can still taste long after it’s gone.

[emmajoygreen]

Exactly - more or less!

[Laz K.]

we all live in our own microcosm teeming with secrets to be discovered.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thank you, Laz K. What you've said is very true but - or plus, are often secrets that hide or appear to be even more vital than they actually are! Little imps of annoyance that both tease or threaten.

Seems the glitch-intended imps are on the warpath - again!

There is a good deal to say about satisfying the soul and appetite the opposite of aesthetics and the Spartan view of life. Nothingless a most interesting concept like zero theoretical and probably nonexistent. What with dark matter and dark energy as well as other dimensions. A mind provoking write

[emmajoygreen]

Perhaps we should find the ingredients we need to have as near a perfect life as possible - each to his or her own? We need look into Thoughtland to find an answer - perhaps.

Hiiii Emmaa!!

The first time I heard that the universe consists mostly of empty space I was in awe of it. The concept of that nothingness or empty space is pretty amazing.

Something about eating and the memories that come from food is another thing that amazes me. Just like smelling something from the past. I've been sharing this lately because its true and I've been eating childhood food which has been nostalgic for me. Food goes beyond nourishment, although thats important too.

Wonderful poem Emma!! Thanks for sharing the videoooo🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

[emmajoygreen]

Whatever a thoughtful person takes into his/herself is forever a feast, don 't you think... I think so by what you've so finely put in your very kind review, Kady R. Food does indeed go beyond
nourishment, tis the way its seen, tasted and afterwards thanked for; plus has those special ingredients to feed the human spirit and I feel you understand that only too well. Many, many thanks .. and more, my fine friend.

[Kady R.]

Anytime Emmaa!!🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

[emmajoygreen]

:))) and many more smiles

[Pallavi]

Wow, very deep!
Very thoughtful emma.

Loved it!

[emmajoygreen]

Am truly happy that you found the above deep.. and hope you'll remember the words and the look of that incredible video.

Wishing you happiness week-long and always, Pallavi.

To get lost in the thoughts of unrecorded nothingness in the mind, unposted for likes and comments. Just bubbling away in the background.
Our minds eye is the only refuge left for secrecys sake and the truth becomes something else entirely. It causes offence when you reply "it's a secret" to the throwaway statement of "whatcha thinking?"
This is most certainly something dear lady. 😃

[emmajoygreen]

I thought the same as you, Lorry. Many thanks, my friend.

[emmajoygreen]

Seems others do not.. if only they ignored my words, watched and listened to the video however. :(

[Lorry]

Ah, the audience is indeed fickle m'dear. Is it silly or ironic that that there is no rhyme or reason to them at all?
😃

[emmajoygreen]

Sighhhhhhhhhh!

[Lorry]

Just listened to the video again and the guy is right. You would think this type of thought would be more popular these days, with the leave no trace generation, where we were the consumer generation that continued the poisoning of our very own paradise.
I think if you live a good life then you shouldn't want or need to be remembered, other than family and friends knowing who you were.
I must bookmark that video when I go on to YouTube next.

[emmajoygreen]

Sometimes we read words, comment but forget them almost at once. I can't understand those reviews that say 'very good' but don't say why!

[Lorry]

Yup! My thoughts exactly.
Some people do, some people don't. I reckon im a more kind that start "once upon a time..." 😀

[emmajoygreen]

YOU'RE a dreamer, luv, tha's why.. thank goodness. What would I and many others do without you!

[Lorry]

Well... have more sanity in your life for a start! 😀
