Horizon

What has kept me alive

In my darkest times

Is the promise of a hot cup of coffee

On a damp dewy morning.

I stay for the simple pleasures.

The texture of silk.

The warmth of cashmire.

Things I cannot afford,

But find their way to me.

I stay for the look in someone's eyes

When they realize how deeply I love.

How deeply I love them.

The Earthly plane is a funny one.

There's always trouble abrewin'.

I get myself in the silliest messes

And I do my best to clean them up.

I stay alive to prove that I can.

I stay alive because there's always something to learn.

I stay alive because I am constantly walking along the horizon

Of peace and horror.

And life is a beautiful thing.
