Zero

Nothing, that which isn't there,
could that be someone's hero?
Prince of castles in the air
is empty, hollow number zero.

Roam the palace at calm pace
while hidden like a long-gone flame:
quiet zero knows all space,
requiring legroom all the same.

From its Oval Office view,
by sense of obligation,
does zero share its power through
positional notation.

Mighty zero, neutral beast,
emotionless, yet paramount.
Mighty zero, you're not least
a cornerstone of how we count.
