Nowhere, Somewhere, Anywhere


I came across a divine poem I'd like to share with you all. It was read out in a film called Flick's chicks
What i love about the poem is that it wasn't just a poem, it was also a love letter.

I have tried to find the author of this poem but to no avail.Therefore I am crediting it to Jessica and Joshua Nelson the film writers.

Nowhere, Somewhere, Anywhere

Nowhere
- the place i have called home most of my life
because nowhere, is where i was understood
inspired,and loved

Nowhere
- is the ground on which i stood
Where my life appeared to make sense
Where i had a place i wanted to be
and someone i trusted there was me

Nowhere
- owns the right to my autobiography
It consoles my spirit,
the shadow of every step i took
the backdrop of just

Every time i would fall,but i swallow nowhere
because he was the only one
who spoke my name with ease

Somewhere
- the place i have dreamed of for most of my life
In my reverie, somewhere is where i laughed,
where i cried, where I'm peaceful

Somewhere
- i speak without being silenced by insecurity,
uncertainty and guilt

Somewhere
- is the land of unfathomed desire
Where i walk with my head held high
I know who i am!
I know where i am!
And when i fall,he helps me to my feet

Somewhere
- feels my anguish and
wants to deliver from nowhere

Anywhere
- the place i never thought i would reach in all my life
To exist in the expanse of anywhere is to never
be afraid, never have doubts
To see that your life is only just beginning

Anywhere
- has endless boundaries, endless laughter,
and love with no finish lines
When i stand on the ground of anywhere,
the clouds roll away,and my future is illuminated
with pristine clarity

He walks beside me.
And when im in his presence, i experience
for the first time in my life,
the inability to fall

Anywhere
- consume my heart, consume my soul
I am understood in language and in silence
I am seen from the inside out,from the outside in
He is my home

And in the moment that our lives collided,
he swallowed nowhere
He surpassed somewhere
And as he asked, i followed him
to paradise
to anywhere

...........................

Honest opinions please. What do you think?

  1. How come I've never seen this?!
    I love it. It speaks volumes.... Like you said it is a love letter but she let's us see who she was before she found love and after...
    Great piece and thanks Flo for sharing.
