Analysis of empty pocket
my pocket is empty
and I, am nothing less
nothing more
I am the wind
empty
I, soar and float
enter the river
twist and turn
and my pocket is empty
evaporate
to float in the sky again
I, transform
into a fish
I grow
and am eaten
I am the first and last rays of the sun
a great clockwork
and my pocket is empty
so when I light up the world
color the skies
don't ask me for anything
else
but marvel
because my pocket's empty
but my soul is full
