--N-O-W-H-E-R-E--

..N.O.W.H.E.R.E.. It was NOWHERE where I came from; I am here. I am NOW HERE, going NOWHERE, it is clear. Where is this place that I’m NOW HERE, a heartbeat? The NOWHERE place it is a place that is near. I was NOWHERE before my birth; now I’m here. The NOW HERE part of my life is so endear. I do not know why I exist in this life. The NOWHERE place that I’m going is sincere. My friends are gone to the NOWHERE place land. The NOWHERE place that I do not understand. Nobody came to tell me what happened there. I am NOW HERE going NOWHERE; it is planned. The days are gone, and the end is here soon. The NOWHERE place, to me, will appear soon. I am NOW HERE living in pain and restless, The soft singing of death I will hear soon. 3/4/2017 Haloo

Hi Pashang, thank you for visiting my poem. When I read below that you painted this picture, well, color me more than impressed. It captivated me from the very start. It has such an enchanting and lovely sense to it. As for your poem, don't take the play on words part to heart. Where we came from, no one knows, but it was somewhere, same for where we're going. I enjoyed both.

Hi Pashang, a beautiful painting to go with your beautiful words. I love the concept of your poem and it is well written. Death, to me, shall be a nowhere until the point of death, then it shall be a somewhere, not just a thought in the mind. Your journey of words goes on Pashang. This has to be a seven from me. Hugs....Mike. XX

The painting is very beautiful, Pashang, and I like your play of the words 'nowhere' and 'now here':) I'll try to write in Rubai form soon:)

Yes, Pashang, we know where we are at the moment, and although we form an idea in our minds of what happens after death, it is still quite a mystery to us! I see you are not only a talented writer, but also a talented painter! Regards // paul
