Everywhere, Nowhere

Was it dark

Were you scared

Or just relieved

Were you prepared

Or was it quick

In the bathroom light

Did you quake

Or softly sigh

I know I shouldn’t dwell on the whats, the wheres, the whys

Sort the lulls and the jags between the you and I

Shouldn’t grasp into the ether for a sign

But now you’re everywhere and nowhere all the time

Did it ever stop

The way you pined

Or did some one mean it

When they named you “Mine”

Your bone deep ache

Did it slip away

Was it still clinging on

Sister, did you pray

I know I shouldn’t dwell on the whats, the wheres, the whys

Sort the lulls and the jags between the you and I

Shouldn’t grasp into the ether for a sign

But now you’re everywhere and nowhere all the time

I hope there’s music

I hope there’s peace

I hope your pillow’s soft

And the water’s sweet

Can’t help but grasp into the ether for a sign

That you found rest in your nowhere all the time
