SWEET NOTHINGS

NOTHING'S AS SWEET AS THE NOTHINGS,
THAT ARE PASSED FROM MOUTH TO EAR
SUCH SIMPLE WORDS, SO TRUSTING
BUILT FROM LIES THAT HEART DOES FEAR.

NOTHING'S AS SWEET AS THE NOTHINGS,
THAT ARE WHISPERED THROUGHOUT THE AIR,
FROM THE SOFTEST OF LIPS AND MOST FRAGILE OF TONGUES
THAT UTTER THOUGHTS OF DESPAIR.

NOTHING'S AS SWEET AS THE NOTHINGS,
THAT ARE SAID TO WARM THE HEART
AND FOR THE MIND TO PONDER WHEN LONELY,
AS IF TO EVADE A FEELING APART.

NOTHING'S AS SWEET AS THE NOTHINGS,
THAT CREATE LOVE FROM WITHIN A LUST,
AS THE HEART THAT'S OPEN AND SEARCHING
DERIVES FULFILLMENT NOT OF THE SUCH.

NOTHING'S AS SWEET AS THE NOTHINGS,
NO NOTHING, NO, NO THING AT ALL,
OH THE NOTHINGS SEEM SWEETER THAN NOTHING,
FOR IN THEM,
LIFE BE RESOLVED.
