Where Dreams Meet With Logic

Where the fog meets the blue sky;
where the halo of light blends with darkness;
where the desert turns into the forest;
when the child grows into adulthood;
where the black oil blends with the sea;
when sound--it can fade out forever--
    but there'll be the conceptual place,
        where music turns into silence.

It is not concrete, like where

the road meeds the edge of the sidewalk;
the tick of the clock at precisely an hour;
the corner of two walls and a ceiling
the end of a nail or the tip of a hair;
the border between the two countries.

Even those we can't truly define

The exact,
         mass of a dot;
         width of a line;
         length of a ray;
         size of infinity.
