About the Poem

Growing away from friends is one of the hardest parts of growing up... mostly because it's our own fault for losing touch with each other. One of my close friends asked me how we had managed to lose touch.. This was my response to him. Love Poems

There to Here
by Lauriel Mariondatter
You ask me how we got from there to here,
And you tell me you can't remember,
And so I'll answer it for you,
Though perhaps not the way you want me to.

We got from here to there on the back of a unicorn racing through our dreams,
We got from here to there when night's silence thundered between us,
We got from here to there believing a song to be stronger than the worlds pulling us apart.

And we were right.

We stood in good relation to the earth,
We stood in good relation to the gods,
We stood in good relation to all that was beautiful,
You see, we were Alive

We got from there to here when we believed reality to be stronger than love,
We got from there to here when we forgot to look up and believe that gravity held no hold on our souls,
We got from there to here when we left our storybooks for some other distracting play,

And now I do not know my world,
And I cannot find my God,
And beauty dies,
Shut out in the cold.

And I believe we can get from here to there if we just believe,
And I believe we can get from here to there if you'll take my hand,
And I believe we can get from here to there - if only in our dreams,

And when you're dancing across the sky,
Somewhere between the stars and the moon,
Look for me by your side, I'll meet you with hands outstretched,
We'll go - from here to there, there to here, and back again.

You're poem is fabulous. made me think of a friendship I've recently lost. Made me cry for its beauty. Thanks! She never said goodbye. just never answered my invitation for lunch, or returned my e-mails or phone calls. I know I loved this person. even though we were both married to others. This was totally platonic.

A beautiful poem. Reminds me of a situation I have with a friend. Gone, but maybe not forever.

This poem was amazing! It had some very powerful words. Words that provoked some saddening thoughts, and some sweet thoughts. Absolutely amazing! I don't know where the voice for this poem was found but I think that voice needs to be used more often, instead of being left out in the cold. :)
