See that horizon rising

Once so far off

As to be hazy in a forgiving mist

Not really a barrier at all

It comes to finer focus.

You can see the breakers clearly

Once, so far out, at sea.

How will they cascade upon you

As you wait on the shore

Having come as far west

As a human can go?

The cliffs tower behind you

Prohibiting a re-do.

You are here, cold water and all

Take your skiff & raise a sail.

Embark on that last voyage.

Chase that horizon at your chosen pace.

Be yourself with impunity.

Resemble yourself not someone else.

Look back on the long plateau.

Those you have look out at you.

Wave a confident arm

No one knows what you don't tell them.

This voyage is for the hearty -

Those not consumed by envy.

Partial to truth in many forms

And when beauty is seen

It is usually the truth.

Go beyond waking.

Find a place to truly observe.

Watch others as they choose their course.

Listen to your heart when you choose yours.
