horizon
with every
vista of victory,
tragedy, glory,
beauty, love,
hate, peace,
war
comes a
horizon, a
boundary beyond
the one before,
now,
ahead of;
defining what is,
from what was
and is to
be;
where we are
from where
we were and
are not;
reality from fantasy.
there are
horizons in
these sentences
punctuated by
every movement
and fold of our
resolve to
action or
inaction,
from compassion
to indifference:
this, our
common
bond.
