The Horizon

Driving along the coast,

you see nothing but water

and the Horizon

Birds flying,

people walking

with no pre-destination

in mind,

walking along the Horizon

It's noon

and the heat is intense

You fan yourself

even though you're not a fan

going along the Horizon

Your Halfway there

the anticipation building

Imagining the Horizon

You can't wait to get there

Your mind starts to race

Your Heart starts to pound

Excited for the Horizon

The sun starts to set

Darkness soon takes over

the night sky

The dissapearing Horizon

You get tired

Your eyes start getting heavy

and soon you fall asleep

Dreaming of the Horizon

You finally get there

Happiness consumes you

But you notice something

The closer and closer you got

the farther and farther away

the Horizon became.

Your journey hasn't ended,

but in fact your journey

has only just begun

The journey to the end of

The Horizon

Sometimes the repetition felt strange but it worked out so well with the theme of the poem. if we rush through and anticipate everything once it's over it'll never be the same.
