horizon

watching on the horizon

 

the subtle

 movement

of the clouds

 

today

 

contrast

with

that

northern

star

 

fixed

in the heavens

 

I think that

that star

is there

so that

I can find

you

 

or rather

 

so that you

can chart a course

 

to me

 

but the waters

hold danger

 

and the

sands

 

on which I

stand

shift

 

and even

if you

find your

way

 

will I remain

 

here

 

for you

 

I feel my

hold

slipping

 

and

 

the

landslide

has

already begun

I love the imagery you've use, it paints a vivid picture inside my head which I rather enjoyed. I think this poem is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I knew from your review that you were the kind of poet that I wanted to know. Your voice is as familiar as my own. And the depths that you've drawn here, I've struggled in before.

It's nice to find you.
