Nowhere

No place is out of its reach
Nothing can save you.
When you are working or even sleeping
It will hit you when you least expect.

The quitessential question
of existence, of purpose, of calling
spares no one.
And when the mind starts asking
where did I come from and where am I headed.
some pack their bags and head out
in search of answers
while others put their hands
on the back of their heads
and lie back, relaxed.
“I came from nowhere,
and nowhere am I headed.”
