Here to There
A piece of string
outside a cage,
a song heard when a child was two,
a face seen waving
from a train.
A man walks back from a cliff,
having seen the fall.
A girl, a boy, a mother, a father, a toy,
a gun, some money in a safe.
A ring, a card, a tune on a radio,
a regret never to be repeated,
a town, an ocean, a mountain
in the sky.
Some memory, some token for a day.
A dream to come true, a wish on a falling star,
a ticket, a letter, a note
from a teacher.
Just a little, just a taste,
just a promise with some worth,
a little something to keep or share,
a little something to get from
here to there.
