Wherever Here Is

Published on 19 June 2016 at 20:49

In a land that is far, far away—

or rather yet, right there,

right where it needs to be,

and where it should always

stay, to this very day—

there are many things

that may allow me to believe.

 

In what, I sometimes wonder.

It could be anything... or anyone...

or even—no one.

 

I then ponder

the thoughts of a burning candle

that may one day soon burn out.

And as I wish not to be like this,

the harder I fight,

the easier it is.

 

Which is why I’ve come here,

to wherever here is.

Somewhere,

perhaps anywhere—

or just there.

 

In a land far, far away;

a place I made.

And as I dream

of this wonderful place,

I can hear it,

I know it...

it’s calling my name.

 

I’m far, far away,

yet I’m right here.

And at times,

my mind is elsewhere—

in a place I’ve yet to give a name,

in some other world

that isn’t the same

as where I am from,

nor are you.

 

And as I blow out

this burning kiss,

I may then realize it—

 

Wherever here is.
