The Nowhere Man9/9/11 ©Leona M SeufertFalling to the centerGravity has no hold.Floating in a spaceWhere there are only dreams.The miles fly down,The years fly away.The birds lift offGliding to nowhere.Falling, falling, you disappear,Nowhere man.Down, down, down the yearsWho remembers who cares?Once standing tallThey did fall.Today, yesterday a memoryDropping out of the sky.Where are you my friendMy nowhere man.In the moment of descentIn the wink of God’s eyeThe angel’s tear appearsEnvelopes like a handPlaced around youMy friend, my nowhere man.Nothing left but what the camera sawPictures snapped, a horror show.Slow motion slow decentCenter opens to capture our hearts.Gone from our worldYou becameThe man who fell to the nowhere land.
