The In-Between

A Poem

Where am I going?

Somewhere near, but far.

I'm sure of it.

In the way a short distance

Feels farther away as a child.

In the way a long distance

Feels closer when it's filled with hope.

It's somewhere in between.

Perhaps not even a distance,

But a feeling.

In the way home

Takes on a new meaning with age.

In the way spirits

Become something you drink.

In the way becoming

Is still something I have yet to do.

And what I have yet to do

Is living in the in-between.

The present.

So where am I going?

Maybe it's near and far.

Maybe it's not so hard to just...be.
