VEIL OF HORIZON


A longing since medieval,  
A plea for life's survival,  
Boundless in its scope,  
Safety, an elusive rope.

A concept drifting in hope,  
Pragmatic yet in vogue,  
A specter in the shadows,  
Darkness in the meadows.

Volatile in its essence,  
Thesaurus lost in grievance,  
Meaning fading, now receding,  
Yearning for new definitions.
