Wilder desire
Just across the divide,
Pinpricks of possibility
In a distant sky –
Shape your dreams
Into wings to sail
The hope horizon.
My horizon.
Afraid to stop
Or skip ahead
Living through filler chapters,
Waiting for the end.
Unwritten will,
Unread desire –
Days on end
Lost for time’s sake,
Never to be had
Duty, a day.
Happiness, a minute —
Hours to weeks to decades
Life passes us by,
Dismantling opportunity
One poor decision at a time.
Breaking down the hope horizon.
Dismantling my horizon.
Breaking down the hope horizon.
One poor decision at a time.
