Nowhere

Now and here meet
With bitter sweet,
Wise thoughts can greet
Pun, plot and wit.


Nowhere near here
Can dry thoughts cheer,
Purge that vain fear
That loiters near.


Now and here see
Truth and beauty,
Discern and be
Yes yours truly.


Nowhere can start
That craft and art,
Work with true heart
Fond bits and parts.


Now and here know
That touch that shows,
Look for the glow
In light that grows.


Nowhere to stay
Is but life's play,
Here for short days
Make sure time pays.


Now and here sigh
For joy brings high,
Cry when you cry
And touch the sky.
