Horizon to HorizonHorizon to Horizonmystic winds fill magic sailsand the morning sun without failleaves its eastern port behindfor a moment sunrise may seemlike just a drifting daydreamin my lazy mindcos horizon to horizonlife tempts me to wish for successand a journey toward happinessthat's sweet and calm and swiftbut why wish for what I could be earningcos long as tomorrow keeps turningwork remains a gifthorizon to horizonthere's no light for me to losedeath takes shape as my shadow movesand melts into the darktombstones tell me life is sand and birdseedthat scattered as Lady Twilight curtsiedbefore her dance with the starsso I think of youth while young enough to rememberand warm tomorrow with yesterday's embersbut horizon to horizonI hope I never look backin my twilight and worry thatI haven't lived enoughcos life measured out in minutesreaps more regret and limitsthan one measured in lovehorizon to horizonmy day sailing in the western skieswill mean it's another man's sunrise(c)2005 Robert George
