Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

I'M Not Here

I am here, but I am elsewhere
My mind, it wanders through space and time
To where? I do not even know
But I know, where ever it is, it is all mine

I dream, to go many places
In my mind, I’ve traversed this wonderful earth
But yet, my body remains here
In the land it has occupied since its birth

I know, I will continue to go
To where my body will never take me, I’ll be
For now, though, I am here
I don’t see you, though, you most certainly see me

Mary Duhart July 31, 2008 at 11:17 AM Yes how we do all travel who knows one day we may end up in one of those places. Nice right and thank you for your words of comfort and encouragement on-Did I?

Kristin Reynolds July 31, 2008 at 5:24 AM I see you there in the ether, for I am there, too. :) Michael, you wrote my being here, as I am always in that space, the space of 'no time' where one just 'IS', bodiless and everyhwere all at once - the perfect state of being. Well said, my dear! Love Kristin
