Yes Poem by Grant House

Yes

Nothing is a lot
It's the things that just aren't there
Space is what we've got
Things get in the way
They drive us to despair
But empty places and quiet faces
And nowhere traces
Send us through the stars
A universe of peace

Your smile is like that
Weightless kindness
Effortless not knowing
Unsupported trust
Mischief
Inviting now
To be now
All our nears
To be not fars

Right this instant
I sense your tease
Right here
See
Right
Hereless
Nowless
In this
Placeless
Part of me
Where future and past
Do not last
This empty calm unspoken

Yes

Right there
You are
