the 'w' word.

It's a quivering, a shivering, a trembling.
Night winds blowing, howling into
a nothingness, an echoing nothingness

of mind.

of mine.

From nothing Man was made.
And in his Nothingness,
fears and doubts and enacted plays arose; arise.
The Age Old question.

what if.

what if, nations rage and seas arose
kings and queens cry
foul, Foul
castles, kingdoms, galaxies
fell like oak trees in vast forests
like signposts in clear highways
like pens released from one's hands.

what if.

in Nothingness man contemplates his "what if"s,
and in Nothingness, he realises his nothingness.
and he falls
like a man, a man, a man, on his knees before Him.

The greatest What If, who erases all other "what if"s.
The One whom, If you can believe,
you would find all certainty.

and then your;
my
what if's would be,

Yes, Lord.
