The lighted horizon speaks

            I stand just outside its halo

It murmurs to the loner-traveler-angel

            Of my soul

Blessings untold beyond that horizon

            All the unanswered prayers

            All the roads untread

            All the songs unsung

Fortunes undiscovered beyond those lights

            Smiles unseen

            Eyes left unsearched

            Souls, like mine, abandoned

Twinkling just out of my eyesight

            Are the dreams come true

            The wishes manifested in flesh

            A heart to pair with mine

But this body is weary

            This flesh weak

            This mind a wanderer

            This need never satiated

Left without motivation to

            Fill the hollow

            Change the course

            Aim towards that lighted horizon

Had I only the courage to follow my heart…
