“out of nowhere” By Maggie Seal

out of nowhere
a wrenching of the heart
a beating glare

out of nowhere
a pointing and laughing 
a disgusted stare

out of nowhere 
a wandering of the soul
a fit of prayer

out of nowhere 
a questioning of self 
an unwelcome affair

out of nowhere
a kick while you're down
with seemingly no reason left to care

out of nowhere
an unexpected betrayal
with too much to declare

out of nowhere
an emptying of pocket
with nothing left to share

out of nowhere
a hopeful word
a reason to not despair

out of nowhere
an unexpected friend
someone kind and fair

out of nowhere 
a sunny day
a reason to give thanks in the rare

out of nowhere
life hurts, life takes
life gives, life makes
out of nowhere
but out of somewhere
out of somewhere purposeful,
life always gives, even when it takes.
