On The Far Side Of The HorizonA Poem by Chris Shaw(from a friend's photograph)
gift me a horizon at days end
where a fireball sun is sinking fast between silhouettes of scented pine where my view is divided in two dark chocolate shadow submerges all lower ground while on high swimming in a warm summer sky runny with orange blossom honey thickly spread and set a solitary avian friend soars a pin prick in a vast ocean expanse carry my thoughts on feathered wings as i ponder on the persecuted in far off lands who no doubt hear the call of freedom singing how many stare at the setting sun elsewhere on our unequal earth dreaming their chance too will come where they leave behind family friends, all they have ever known to grow in more fruitful soil
