here and there

here and 

there.

how did i get here

when i was there?

i
is a relative 
term.

i is me.

i is you.

i is her and him and them.

i thought i was there

and now i am here.

it all happens 
so quickly

it seems.  

now i'm here

when i'm ready 
to be there.

all we can do

is be where we are.

and where we are 

is rarely 

here nor there...

usually we are between 

the place we were

and the place we are
to be.

in between

the here

and the there,

memories 

merge 

with the 

what will be.

this is where we 

always seem to be...

in journey 

between 

here and there.  

i am here

i soon will be there...

just as i was there

and now i am here.
