Nothing I see means anything

Before life's mirror I'm preening,
But everything has no meaning --
It is what it is,
Nothing more, nothing less--
An old pair of shoes or
A brand new dress --

All things I see
Have the power to bless --
And it doesn't matter what past I bring --
Nothing I see means anything.

So now let's just let everything be --
Stop giving meaning to whatever we see --
Whether a high thing or a low thing,
It is really a "no" thing.

It's not what it isn't --
This has to be true --
It simply means nothing,
To me or to you --

And now God's not so distant -- 
His Light shines in this instant --
Angels may be convening,
But only God gives them meaning.
