Si en un tiesto se le encerrara,
y el dar sombra se le negara,
de tristeza moriría
al ver que no podría
albergar al necesitado
que por el sol amenazado
sufriría en el intento
de sentirse contento,
seguro y protegido,
bajo el techo florecido.

Ay! Si se llevara el viento;
a todo éste sufrimiento,
que con el pasar del tiempo,
he presenciado en aumento!

Night! Please take me – somewhere!

Put me in wander, put me in the whereabouts!
Bring me back later – Keep me until tomorrow!
Wait until Sunrise changes shifts with you;
For as here in captivity causes me sorrow!

Show me a night to never forget,
A night to live for the rest of my life.
Give me memories that show only for an instant,
But that habituate in my soul forever.

Moments that end as fast as they come,
But that stay imprinted in eternity.
Moments for which I get convinced to honor,
Deserving declaration of a day of remembrance.

Set me free, put me somewhere!
As here, now, it already feels like nowhere.
Carry me, be my escort, show me the way,
One that does not yet exist but is meant to be.

Show me what the world has to offer,
Because you do know that well by experience,
Beauty and wonder are on the loose daily,
Give me, please, a piece of that tonight!

Lorem Ipsum, Lorem Ipsum, what is wrong with you?
Sit Amet told me that you were not feeling too good.
Some internet users think you are a mistake in spell,
So I understand if you are not feeling too well.

But your work is used everywhere in the internet,
where I see you often with your teammate Sit Amet.
What would website designers do without you?
If we cannot recite your names, then of who?

…nació de los polvos lejanos,
Creció a Dios muy cercano,
Aprendió de sus primos hermanos,
Con cálido amor a traves de los años.

Siempre soñó desde pequeño, a todos servirle,
Pues desde muy temprana edad, contaba con mucha energía.
Así que día tras día, nunca se cansó de a Dios pedirle,
Que le diera una oportunidad de iluminar con su vida.

Dios con su sabiduría, sí muy claro sabía,
De su cálido corazón que tan rápido crecía.
Siempre determinado a hacer lo que tanto quería,
E incansable que siempre fue, nunca dormía.

Pensando en ninguna otra cosa que lo que muy bien ya hacía,
Siguió pidiéndole a Dios -día tras día,
En tener una misión en la que algún día emprendería,
Y prometió de darle su amor, a aquellos que tuvieran vida.

Propuso crear un horizonte en donde todavía no existía,
Sin ningún miedo de ir a un lugar que aún no conocía,
Y ofrecerlo -sin falta- a los necesitados de energía,
Para iluminar el paso a aquellos en su vida.

Entonces Dios le asignó un lugar, en el cual lo puso solito en aquella era,
Y le confió una responsabilidad que hasta el momento, en el Universo no había.
Solito en su esquina, calentaba sin cesar, esperando por que la primera vida apareciera.
Y por tan Solito en tanta distancia, su nombre entonces fue “El Sol”, porque pequeño ya no era.

…It covers areas throughout the entire Universe, and It has the ability or potential to reach every corner of the Universe at any time, in any amounts, although such events are normally not known in advance.

Yet, it does not take away from anything, nor does it occupies any space – or at least, it is thought as being that way.

It’s name has been repeated trillions of times – if not more!  Every fraction of a second It is being referred to.

In fact, It has been called by It’s name so many times, that we don’t even think of it consciously, unless we feel like including It in our miseries.

We use It all the time, but we don’t consider It to have much value, technically – none!

To the point of that we have come to make It nothing and consider It nothing – not giving It any recognition.

And we do that so much, that while It’s often around us at any given time, we cannot see It, we mention It often – but most often, it is our unconsciousness the one that thinks of It.

However, sometimes, It is all we have in our minds.

Where is It at?  It is everywhere but nowhere to be found.

It must exist, and It does, as It has a very important role in the Universe, but It’s really never there or anywhere else.

Calling It Everything is very inaccurate;

Calling It Something is totally an opposition;

Calling It Huge is an understatement because It’s even larger than that;

Yet calling It Small is pretty close.

We may come to believe that giving It no name, should be understood by It – because of It’s nature;

But just calling It nothing as in giving it no name – is an insult,

As for It’s name by what we know it as, is “Nothing”.

*Note:  This is an “Amateur” work, written rather quickly and spontaneous about a subject I just thought of. I never read books, poems, or do anything like this in my profession, and I always avoided in school and college – anything having to do with poetry, literature, articles, etc. And I do not ever write my thoughts on paper or computer files. But today, I decided to do something else different in my life – once again, like I have been doing especially in the last couple of years, which has turned out much better for me. So for the first time ever, I decided to not only write, but to also publish it online. Where did I learn to write? That is the question of the 20,000 Pennies! …And by the way, I am a College Dropout, self-made Entrepreneur and Artist, self-made Programmer and Web Designer, and self-made pretty-much everything else – so if that serves you as inspiration, I’m glad it can help …So keep all of this in mind before judging a “newbie”!

…In looking to write about Something, I came up with something about Nothing!

I hope you enjoy it. At least if 1 person does – that already means “Something”

Much Love,
