The horizon line

Lorenz

This horizon line that constantly called to me ...

I've endured hundred of miles ,

striving towards the goal ,

tapping the rough concrete of life ...

I ran alone in the silence of my inner crowd ,

burned by an obscure will ,

wet with a shower  of ephemeral glory ,

on the way to a victory ignored  by all ...

So many time reaching the summit ,

only to find the vast plain of boredom...

And here ,beyond the middle of the clock ,

knees bent by  humility ,wild beasts of the mind

lying wisely by the fire ...

Tamed destiny ,

soothed violence ,

I close the vagrancy book ...

Madman who defied the horizon line,

preserving his desire to never reach it !

All I did was ask my shadow ...

      You only reach it in the ultimate race...

      I found this inspirational and very thought provoking! Now I will spend the day really contemplating your words and thinking about my horizon line. Maybe we do never reach it? As we change through the human experience so does the direction of the horizon line. Only in death do we ever reach the final leg of the race but even then some people never know what they truly desire or who they actually are. So how could you ever truly reach the horizon line? See told you lol now you have my mind really working already today! 😊

        Put a pair of sneakers and run ! Staring at the horizon which will turn into active meditation...

          But I don't like running! I will walk fast paced.

          Everyone's horizon will be different, as many search for what matters to them. The closer we get to finding what we're looking for, the more we get to know ourselves if need be, reinvent ourselves. A very inspirational poem lorenz. 😉👍
