Horizons

Sometimes you make me wonder if horizons are fixed or moving.

Watching them makes the spinning of my head stop, the dizziness wears off and I can see clearly again. All it takes is to walk straight in the direction you once pointed towards. Forget the confusion, the buzzing in my ears and the constant cries of “stop, you can’t do that” and “no, that is impossible”.

You told me to look straight ahead, put one foot in front of the other and just keep walking on. Day by day, until I reached the setting sun.

What you didn’t tell me is that there would be obstacles I would have to go over to arrive. It all looked so flat and easy from a distance.

I must keep my eyes set on the horizon, get over any obstacle set in my path, for at the end of the world… is you. Waiting. For me. And us. Waiting. For OUR life to begin. And that promise steadies my uneven stride and calms my aching heart.
