The Horizon Beckons


the horizon
        beckons
we used to spend hours
  searching the horizon
in
wonder                
          what lies beyond?
 near eternal speculation
set fire to imaginations
driving explorers to
  risk
it all
for the sake of the unknown, the unseen
possibilitypossibilities too numerous to
imagine
there it lies, beckoning still
almost no one even notices
             even sees
  even wonders   anymore
we think we know
know what lies beyond
there are maps
encyclopedias
reports    photographs    
we think we know
so much
yet
the horizon is still there
offering limitless speculation     imaginings
for those who care
to 
look
   and
see
