I AM THE HORIZON SEEKER
I look above and search for stars
That fade into the blackened trees.
When life has drug me to my knees,
I am the horizon seeker.
I look above to see the blue
Mix with yellow, purple, green.
When arguments are harsh and mean
I am the horizon seeker.
I climb to reach the mountain top
To see the earth touch the sky.
When long-time friendships fade and die.
I am the horizon seeker.
I watch how clouds form a line
Between the sun and pending rain.
When loving hearts react from pain,
I am the horizon seeker.
I see the sun arrive and leave.
Saying hello. Saying good-bye.
When mixed-up feelings make me cry,
I am the horizon seeker.
Seeing the joint of heaven and earth,
Far in the distance, yet clearly there.
I wait for strength..just sit and stare.
I am the horizon seeker.
