Horizon After Horizon

I welcome change For I realize this life as a journey Travelling insinuates progress Progress means change ...of scenery, of events, of climate Everyday I search Treading one small step in front of yet another step Travelling in a world of discovery and understanding Today I see in me more than I did yesterday The more I forge forward The more I am enlightened Hence the more I improve I change and upgrade my goals out of newer acumen I discard my old values like worn out tyres Thankful to them for having brought me this far For the journey to continue I must swiftly replace the worn tyres of old values With the newly retreaded ones ...of newer, higher, and better values Yesterday, this day was only an imagination Today it is a reality, But since I have attained it, shall I stop travelling? Nay, that is against Nature’s Law This horizon has enabled me to perceive ... a far more beautiful end which I couldn’t yesterday perceive Nor could I ever have perceived it any way had I not travelled this far To it I feel drawn To it I feel summoned with urgency To it I must let my destiny flow To it I must ensure my efforts guide me For in it must be the clue for my next thrill Such is the nature of travel Such is the nature of humans And I am only human

If we stop traveling (growing and embracing change), we live in the past. I admire the way you reach beyond current horizons and seek knowledge, wisdom. A smart approach to life, Wiseton. Your spirit will never stagnate with an attitude like this. An extraordinary poem for my faves. Love, Carolyn
