The Horizon
![Picture](/uploads/7/3/0/0/7300466/4162186.jpg?423)
The horizon that inspired the first exploration of the unknown,
The horizon that inspired the first sailor to leave safety for adventure,
The horizon was filled with a new world, another mountain, another sea.
We pursued the horizon until we discovered the world was round,
We pursued the horizon seeking the adventure of discovering,
We pursued the horizon until our eyes were drawn upward, to the new frontier.
It was the horizon that drove humanity to overcome,
It was the thrill of the unknown that enabled us to excel,
It was the horizon ever present, unattainable, that filled us with dreams.
What lies beyond, what haven't we discovered, what life we could have?
If the horizon was our greatest gift, it is also our greatest curse;
Woe to men when the horizon loses it's magic,
If we know what lies beyond every horizon, life loses all meaning.
Then all that is left, the only horizon to cross,
Is death, what we discover there no man truly knows.

Oh, what beauty I have seen, in this life of mine. I hope I never forget to look to the horizon and see what's there.
