My Horizon
I stand here alone on the shore
of my horizon the place where
reality seems to meet the facts
of my life and where the water
reflects the trials of my life as
my limits of experience washes away
my footprints of knowledge i however
i can see only about three miles
before the surface of the light of
my life before the earth curves it
away out of my eyesight no matter
how good one's eyes are my horizon
forms a kind of boundary line far
beyond which one cannot see but yet
i stand free as i watch and wait for
my destiny and fate too awake and
arise from the line where the sky
seems to meet the earth i remain
steadfast on the grains of man hoping
my horizon to uncoils my life's span
