I Am Nobody

It's commonly thought

That music is beautiful

Because of the notes

And how we simply

Find them pleasing

But this is not why

Music is beautiful because

Of the space between the notes

It's our anticipation of

The note to follow

That sends signals of pleasure

To our brains

So often, we read words

But fail to notice

The spaces between

Without them this poem

Would be unintelligible

I know now

I am those spaces

I am nothing

I am nobody

I am infinite

I am my spirit

Not my body

I dwell within my body

My body is not me

My body will die

And my Self will go on

Perhaps it will become

The space between

The notes

In my favourite song

Or perhaps the wind

Blowing between the switches

Of a weeping willow

Or even a mote of dust

Suspended in a ray of sunshine

Or perhaps

I'd be given the honour

Of becoming

The space between

Two words
