Chasing Horizon
A Poem by Gabrielle Liriano
 
Look out at that horizon line
A new day is dawning
The birds are yawning
And the humans are crawling out of bed
 
Stretch for that horizon line
Its auburn fills your eyes
Wakeful rays for morning sighs
A day’s work is ahead
 
Reach for that horizon line
It’s not getting any closer
But would you want it to?
 
Toward that horizon line
is a meadow laced with lilac
Stop and smell, Stay and unpack
But just for a short view
 
Because you need to race for that horizon line
Like the zebras in the wild
Chasing dreams done in style
Will they ever come true?
 
Stare at that horizon line
You fall onto your knees
In distress you feel the breeze
It will take care of you
 
Rest, for that horizon line
Proceeds to hide the sun
Blackness hinders a run
And it is time to sleep
 
Don’t worry that horizon line
Will wake you in the morning
And its beams will send you soaring
Another day Another leap
