Beyond the Distant Horizon

Beyond the Distant Horizon 
David J Walker 

Faint 
	Octobers morning sun 
Was more tolerant 
of simple sight
The malaise set at peace  
The disquisitive gaze  
Or at least it might

As the calendars race to
November
	Remembering that
December 
Comes trembling into 
Winters bitter bight

But not yet
	Says the clock
Regulating 
seconds into
Moments
	And minutes into hours 
Beneath the pedestal towers 
Of times flight

Faint 
	Octobers morning sun
The day has just begun
	And is already gone
Beyond 
	The distant horizon
