Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Choka

At the Horizon

At the horizon
There are dreams never explored
There are roads never traveled
Yet we look at it
Has magnetism
The power to draw all eyes
To that place never explored
That road not traveled.

We look but remain
Is it safety the restraint?
Our know of reality?
Yet we receive dreams.
Can they not be reached?
Woe to those fears that rise high
Like the walls 'round the City
Our minds limited
Our spirit confined
Yet on we long to be free
As we watch birds with envy
What then will it take?

What to take along?
Where will the road take us to?
A change of thought's the cure
To worry, a fear
Kills like a virus 
Spread upon lies that confine
And prevent us from meeting 
At the horizon.

Carolyn Devonshire July 10, 2010 at 4:22 PM Mom used to say, "He who hesitates is lost." Fear and worry can prevent many people from living their lives to the fullest. I hope those who need to read this insightful poem do and heed the advice. Your poetry is always remarkable, Caroline! Much love from the Wild Woman
