Horizon of Dreams

by Anisa Abeytia Yamani - Aquarius

I am at home again
and I can not help but think
that maybe no one feels
what I do.

But I feel you now.
When I am here 
with only my thoughts
to keep me company 
my past failings
come crashing threw
in every open space
of my domestic solitude.

I can almost reach out 
and grab the past, but
why look back when 
there are stars in the sky to behold/?
It would be better for me to 
look toward the horizon's thin line
Because I know that is where hope lies.

At early morning
and the close of the day
that seemingly dull,
black line
that is pulled so taught across the sky
erupts into unexpected hues.
A multitude of colors
explode as the sun
wades beneath the sea
and the world becomes a kaleidoscope
turned by the hand of God.

So I know there might be
something unexpected waiting
for me beyond the horizon
filled with dreams.
