The Far Horizon
“It was so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something's difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder -if not impossible- to lose.”
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride
The Far Horizon
She stands over the shore
What she deems, I'm never sure
For she gazes at the horizon
Like praying at the moon
She doesn't have anything
But enough to get by living
She finds it exhausting to breathe
And hardly goes to bed
She stands there day and night
Waiting for a ship in sight
But when one comes, she let it pass
She's mounted like a pole of brass
I wonder why she didn't wave
Then saw the chains under her sleeve
I wonder why she didn't screamed
Then saw her lips were fully seamed
Her eyes besought so far
ferrying her beyond the stars
Yet she's still hoisted there
Quietly waiting at the shore
