In the middle of nowhere
As if life just transported you there
Without any signs of what was to come
On your two feet where you’ve never been
Just a compass
You need to learn how to use

In the middle of nowhere
As if life just transported you there
Without any signs of what was to come
On your two feet where you’ve never been
Just a compass
You need to learn how to use

What a beautifully distilled piece, Alex has created—so minimal in words yet expansive in meaning. The image of standing “in the middle of nowhere” feels less like isolation and more like a quiet invitation from life itself. The poem captures that universal moment when the familiar disappears and we’re asked to navigate the unknown with nothing but a compass we’re still learning to trust.
