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.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
