Horizon

 

When you look up to a crisp evening sky,
During a late winter’s night,
Glow like the bright stars above,
Bask in the pale moonlight.

But do you know I am holding up the horizon?
Glance back down and you might spot me,
I want you to see those wonders so pure,
So I will take this burden that you might be free.

You must know how heavy it is,
So understand what I say is true,
Every star blinds and burns,
And I will carry them all for you.

When you look out to the still sapphire sea,
As you sit on the golden sandy shore,
Let the slow tide wash over your skin,
And gaze at the subtle ship in the distance moored.

Know that while you rest and take in the rich breeze,
It is me aboard that vessel who wrestles with the great storms,
Lightening severs the sky and rain batters the bow,
But you shall stay safe for the rock shall not be worn.

Can you sense how much it hurts,
To battle this tempest in search of waters blue?
This sea seeks to drown you with a thousand murky sins,
And I will keep them all away from you.

As you walk down the winding road,
That leads you through the twisted meadow,
Do not let the shadows grow too long,
For it is you who casts them to harrow.

Do you not know how much I struggle,
To keep the growing darkness at bay?
If you are able to tread unhindered,
It is because I helped to show you the way.

So you can keep me locked away in the cold,
I know that someday we will come through,
Your past threatens to drag you to the depths,
But I will fight those demons back for you.
