From Here to There

From Here to There

 

It lurks ahead,

In every life.

Progressing ever forward

With each sunrise.

 

The future dawns

On all mankind.

Leaving strands of footsteps

From here to there.

 

Beads of knowledge collected

In unseen vaults.

Oft times, one struggles

To decide where their future halts.

 

Plans are laid

With best of intentions,

But they refuse to pan out.

From here to there, it lacks fruition.

 

In time, we’ll be looking back

At the lives we’ve led.

Humbled that the expanse of years

Were little pebbles compared to what’s ahead.

 

Closing warned eyes,

Hearing with hearts instead of ears…

Let the rejuvenated soul rejoice,

Knowing they’ve come from there to here.

I loved the wisdom in the words dear Melinda.

Thank you dear friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

wonderful poem Melinda. I often marvel at how fleeting time and moments are in life. And look back in wonder that I managed to survive difficult choices made. Now in my mid 50s I'm more contemplative then ever, because time seems more finite then before.
