Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

Horizons

I wake to new horizons
Distant vistas kiss my eyes
Was it only yesterday
I slept neath foreign skies

Where has the familiar gone
My perspective is unclear
I struggle to make sense of it
Is now my future here

I cast my gaze about me
But a different world I see
I am standing in tomorrow
Looking at what used to be
