Horizon

You ever tried running to the horizon?
Your legs burning, your stomach churning with each step.
Tears streaming down your face, not of your sadness but from pure exhaustion.
And your heart, pounds.
The sun is just beyond your grasp and you reach towards it with your soul.
Only you find that you must continue stepping into the continuing dimming of the sun’s light.
You realize that you’re stuck in limbo of ever hailing want you.
And still you don’t want to stop, because it’s the warmth that you long for, fleeing from the dark emptiness behind you.
