Elsewhere

Where is elsewhere?
I have often been told 
its anywhere I an not.
But, is it?
I think of elsewhere and
wonder who is there.
Are there flowers and
trees, hugs, bugs, and
skinned knees?
I have longed to be
elsewhere for much of
my life as if elsewhere 
carries with it none of 
my current strife.
Elsewhere is nebulous
profound, and alive.
it is a secret place where 
no one need hide.
Where all things are
good and everyone  thrives.
Elsewhere is a fantasy.
It is mythical and pure.
A place of retreat when
we are unsure.
it is different, delicate,
and deliberately undefined.
Which makes it a place no
one can find. 
I think of elsewhere and 
I wonder now, could I have
survived without believing
this lie?

When things are tough you need hope and elsewhere is hope. Whether it is or not you can believe/hope the grass is greener elsewhere. Very nice piece.

thanks.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
