Space bar

Ever took a moment to consider this.

When I use you,

there is nothing to see,

When I leave you,

there is much to see.

 

Though many think,

you are small and empty.

Though many dear say you stink,

Without you it's not as deftly.

 

Words do not exist without,

the gentle space of your touch.

What if they put you out?

Itjustwouldn'tbemuch.

Author's Note

This poem is dedicated to that small, underestimated key.

I liked this. It is such a truth that a little emptiness can be so powerful. Very Zen.

I personally never underestimated space bar and yet that's because i never thought of space bar let alone think of it the way you do. Perhaps you didn't intend but there seems to be an underlying message in this poem. That very often it's that what we cannot see with our naked eye that adds meaning to our life. We may fail to see what makes things work & what keeps the wheels moving. It's what we call God.

Thanks to share this poem. It goes very deep. Space bar was a great metaphor.

Thank you, the underlying message was is one of many ways to read the poem and I certainly thought of it too while writing, you describe it just perfectly.
