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
