The Horizon, Ah!


The Horizon, Ah!


I woke up early this morn,

To find I was absolutely shorn

When I ultimately did find

I was very far behind.

 

I had yet to surface

Above the depths of strife,

Since I had yet to fathom

Extreme procrastinations of life.

 

For me it was no surprise

The horizon was yet

A seemingly distance away

I had an occasion

To continue in my inimitable way.


I stumbled to walk

Towards that far oblivion

Unexpectedly
it continued to move

Now in a totally different direction.

Still I hastened

But the destination

Though duskily dark

Was still  at a sufficiently
distance, hark!


No matter how fast I did pace,

Further it moved in eternal space

I had to ponder on my track

Ere I’d resume,
hoping some day,

The distant vision would stay

Help me reach my ultimate

Elevation
gloriously some day.
