something about nothing

there's something about nothing that holds a certain appeal
the blankness that gives opportunity
the void that has nothing to say
but waits patiently for the first glimmer of inspiration
the first definition of identity
eking out an existence, a meaning, a purpose
one bit at a time
hard at first, sometimes unsure
until at last a direction presents itself
a path begins to take form
pitching and bending, creaking and groaning
discovering something new
but it all starts from nothing
there's just something about nothing
