NOWHERE

NOWHERE

When I was born
Synonymous to man
Tears took path on my cheeks
Inside of it
The things that I perceived
But could not express
My joy and pains all in the fluid
I wish a drop was kept for me
Now, maybe I would read from it
What it looked like at the onset
Of existence on Earth
When something goes wrong today
I and we feel sour
We would take time to cry again
But nothing from those days
As sweet as they were
Where is the first tear that dropped?
Life we live hastens against time
No matter how sweet or sour
Whatever we feel
Should be as sweet as when it is
And let it go when otherwise
All of it is less than temporary
The direction of things shouldn't pull one apart
Where is all of yesterday?
What are we going to call today
Tomorrow holds the thoughts
Everything is coming again
Where is it?
Good, bad, sweet or bitter
Where is all of yesterday?
