Everything someplace

The little girl liberated from school day
finds smiles, fun and frolic along her way
just the time when the four girls wave
one blue, one red, one black and another wont say.

Far else somewhere two ladies sit outside some open doors
where red butterflies seem lost in time and petals forever glow
where wild flowers grow in small weird places
and funny kids make funny faces.

Some other somewhere a temple sits far atop the hill
with a hundred stairs to reach its base and its so uphill
A young rabbit though seems quite determined
gorging on the gorgeous greens on the way.


Another place somewhere the mountain wakes
pushing some water that cheerfully escapes
is this when the tea is made in strings of steaming pans
and poured with dark brown hands into glowing silver cans.

Here somewhere the farmer's plight is a stoic sight to see
as I watch from my first floor window alongside a bumble bee
purple flowers with many petals seem to want different middles,
and the water that kept pouring away now wants to stop midway.
