Sweet Nothing

unpack the vine
uncurl unwind
unpack the mind

sweet nothing

was waiting for you
all the time
nothing to find

suck on the grape
puncture its skin
juice of the moment
sweet but thin

unpack the world
there's space within
between the sky
and the ocean's rim

unpack the vine
uncurl unwind
unfold the dream
unfurl the sign

sweet nothing

was waiting for you
all the time
and you didn't even notice

sweet nothing
easy when there's
nothing to find

sweet sweet nothing

    This reminds me of the Italian expression, "Il dolce far niente," meaning essentially "the sweetness of doing nothing." Frankly, I would love for that to be the American motto. Alas, however, it shall never be.

    Indeed. And 'dolce' is such a lovely word.
