HERE AND THERE
Here and there, two distant lands,
Separated by oceans and shifting sands,
One is near, the other far,
Yet both hold their own unique star.

Here, a bustling cityscape,
Filled with people and endless tape,
Buildings reach towards the sky,
While cars and buses whizz by.

There, a quiet countryside,
Where nature's beauty is amplified,
Fields of green and rolling hills,
The peacefulness of nature spills.

Here, the hustle and bustle,
Of a life that never stops or rustles,
Busy streets and neon lights,
A constant hum that never quite delights.

There, the stillness and calm,
Of a life with little harm,
The chirping of birds and rustling leaves,
A life of peace that always relieves.

Here and there, two different worlds,
One chaotic, the other unfurled,
Both hold their own unique charms,
A life of excitement or one of calm.

But wherever we may choose to be,
Here or there, it's plain to see,
Life is what we make of it,
So let's live it to the fullest bit by bit.
