horizon

new horizon
drawing
the eager self
forward and
onward

toward
the edge
of existence
the urge is driving
a restless soul
one heartbeat
at a time

growing fatigue
resources shrinking

draining
power
lust
joy
patience
confidence

testing
stamina
strength
endurance
altruism
love

inhaling
exhaling

driving the being
to become

one more step
one more year

friends and lovers
dis-/appearing

losing what was
gained

regaining what seemed
forsaken

and then
arriving at the
edge
of a world

we will find

what has been
hiding
beyond
for
what seemed
eternity

another horizon
and still another one

until
the final
heartbeat
dies
