When I Am Nothing

A Golden Shovel poem, based on a poem by Bob Jasper.

“Nothing brings me more peace than a walk in the woods unless it is” — Bob Jasper

When I am nothing, And morning, nothing brings, I burrow deep within; silence blankets me. I can ask no more Than another moment’s peace From dreams, interrupted. No longer than The dead space, between breaths — a Small rebellion, fearless walk, A path: oblivion on one side, and me in The middle. Vibrant, imagined possibilities the Promise, darting through tangled woods Unseen, unknown, unknowable — unless Through dark, or waking dreams: It IS.
