Horizons
By Echoes of Orpheus
She is an inevitability,
something forever there.
Unattainable,
Unsurpassable,
Perfection at a distance.
Much like a horizon,
both before and behind me.
Past and future,
but never present.
Something beautified at sunrise,
and still a marvel in moonlight.
Once she was
an infinite presence,
in every breath, dream, and thought.
A place she still is,
but irredeemably so.
I exist in a new presence,
new and eternal,
But Promises lay in horizons
both before
and behind me;
Which I honor,
because if not there would never
be truth behind those words again
So to you,
my horizon past and future,
I still do,
and always will.

I don't know if you ever read these comments anymore, but I found myself reading this while waiting for you to come home from work. I love this piece so much. It's beautifully written, as is everything you write. I will never tire of reading (or listening to!) the things you write. I hope this makes you smile. Whenever you find it⤠I love you Dylan Forever
