H O R I Z O N S

Straddling this rock formation, I am now apiece of art

Riding it like it’s a goddamn rhino

As masterpiece and I get swallowed in shade,

I see distant island tips illuminated, beauty highlighted

Wash me away with the coming rain

Sink me into summit soil like a sunken statue

Have my concrete form replace one of the moss ridden boulders

I came, climbed and collapsed for a clear head

– Clear head gains some new meanings –

Oh shadow of mine, let my thoughts be as defined as your crisp outline

My balance has been lost in the motion of the pendulum swing

It’s time I moved on and stopped gazing at horizons,

& instead found a way to meet them
