Here and There

a traveling nomad’s poem…

A nomad after living for a few days
at his home, compares his home,
and his journeys —

“Here is a place, Here
There was a place, There…

Here I am secure,
There I wandered like a vagrant.
Here is all easy,
There I learned to live with the storm.
Here is a quilt of peace over things,
There I felt pure peace in magical moments.
Here I am well,
There I was mad with overflowing life.
Here I have everything,
There I enjoyed what I had.

Here is a place, Here
There was a place, There…

I like it here,
I loved it there…”
