Someplace

    Somewhere between
An everflowing stream
decorated with daisies
along its banks and a
gloomy swamp where the
blue herons soar above
gnarly tree trunks
and muddy waters
Draping yellowed grass
with a menacing shadow
that stretches like black
clouds across the sky.

     Somewhere between
A patch of forest where
deer gallop among fields
of flowers without fear
of the hunter’s weapon
And a cold winter night
where all there is to see
is a white blanket
meeting a velvet sheet
with only one luminous sphere
Floating above it all
 
     Somewhere between
An island where the palm trees
shake to the fiddling of the sun
Butterflies emerge from their cocoons
Swirling toward crepuscular horizons
And a nightly desert where the
horned owl, coyotes, and the moon join
in harmony to sing melodies
that summon the wind
to tremble stones and
carry withered blossoms
towards black dimensions.

     Somehwere between
Carrening asteroids
painting smiles across
the face of our galaxy
And a region of space where
even the light of stars
fails to shine and the arms
of the nebulae cannot reach

     You will find me
in anyone of these places
Not when the time is right
Never when the time is wrong
A soul can have many faces
whether of sunshine or of night
Find the place where you belong.
