Verse

 Somewhere, 

In the middle of nowhere

Where the waters and the clouds mingle

A canopy of is erect

With a set up to mingle

Tingling the insides and letting them spill

Into teas and reveries.

Sipping on the sparkling aqua

Breathing in the blue

Souls chatter in silence

And banter in the quiet

One might wonder how

The meaning flows so fluidly

Giving form to the abstract

In smiles that bloom 

Competing with the bouquets

Flirting with the sunrays. 

I sit there and bask 

In the versions I meet

Seated at the tables

Versions of myself

The pleasured, the pained

The perturbed, the peaceful

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere

I build a castle of words

Calling them ghost like names

Quietly pleased to meet 

The many versions of me

Posing as you!

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere

Where nothing is everything,

I pause and grin at this cosmic dance

And sip on the sparkling wine

Celebrating life.
