What is this horizon?

What is this horizon?

Why is it the symbol
For hopes
Dreams
Opportunities

What is this horizon?
Except the markings of a beautiful scene
What does it offer?
Or simply suggest

Does it give rise
To that which lies within?
That lust to which we
Scarcely admit

Powerful as an animal
Reckless as one rabid
That thirsts for freedom
Finds a brethren in chaos

It seeks simply to indulge
And to satisfy its latent indulgent
Desires

One does not oft
Stare upon
The sunset
On the horizon

We are too busy
Restrained in our suits
Arrested by wristwatches
Blocked in by deadlines
Diaries
Confinements

Or maybe we are
Too frightened
Maybe our suits
Deadlines
Wristwatches

Are they restraints we willingly
Snap
Onto our wrists
To protect us from that
Which we fear

That which we don’t speak of.

What is this horizon?
What does it promise?
