horizon

what lies on the horizon?

is it painted with the rays of sun,

to say "hello" on a day just begun?

are there birds flying high,

testing the limits of the sky?

or a simple sail boat waving its flag "goodbye?"

there is a thin line--

that makes earth and sky more defined,

like sea and land when meeting on a coastline.

the horizon shows what's ahead.

sometimes in full, sometimes in silhouette,

giving a glimpse from sunrise to sunset.

so what lies on your horizon?

city lights, the country, a view of the ocean?

or does the sky guide you like a beacon?
