THE HORIZON

Passing clouds like fluffy gentle giants

Change shapes as they lightly drift by

Seemingly near, yet remaining so far

Keeping an earthly watch from the distant sky

They reveal an illusionary horizon

Where the earth seems to meet the sky

Making the traveller hopeful

Of distances he could fulfil

On approaching close, nothing seems to change

The sky still aloof, keeping the same range

The earth and the sky destined to remain apart

Beating together but with two different hearts
