horizon

From where I stand, I look at the horizon

It is as if all are defined

The sky belongs above, and the rest below

Only a thin line hints at its boundaries

My body wants to move

from where I stand to the nearest I can be to the horizon

I rushed, looking in one direction

Pebbles crushed as I stride, dust covered the paths I've been

The familiar face I've seen, the warmth of the touch I've felt

the look of content on my face

Only, this was yesterday

I can hear the sound of the leaves as the wind passes through them

The coconut tree leaning towards the deep blue color of the Earth

I can almost feel my feet buried in the glimmering sand

and then be mesmerized by the waves chasing one after another

The impeccable mix of coldness on my feet and a sun-kissed face

Only, I thought this is today.

Imprints of memories in my mind

I know how it feels, I know how it sounds, I know how it looks

I love how it feels

I am looking at the horizon, wanting to go to the nearest I can be

Only, you can't reach the horizon

and anticipation is disappointing
