An Endless Horizon on a Cloudy Night

-Brian Dempsey

Isn't it lovely?

As a blanket of stars rest on you, there is a sense of calmness

Each one bringing about a unique passion of honesty and trust

You never go back on your word, yet you don't show any emotion towards anger

Time is an essence made to be wasted and abused

I saw you in the afternoon streets looking up what was an ancient gift

Only to have turned the other way in denial

You almost gave up what wasn't important, but what mattered the most without looking at it in the eyes

Take a step back and look at this vast majestic beast

Its eyes descending upon the land with his hands outstretched to the heavens

A loud roar tells all that time is running out

And the only thing standing in the way is a figure never seen in years

A girl who possesses the ability to transform into what her heart wants

Tear by tear she makes her way to the center and calms the beast

The villagers are shocked and amazed, each telling their own side of the story

And now as you take a deep breath, your soul is released hoping to find a connection to her

And as the last stroke is done, everyone in time is frozen

Only…she may make time stand still…and unfreeze

The question is…are you strong enough?

Don't be fooled by her appearance

For love is seen from the eye of the beholder

She is what makes you who you are

Love has no effect on her until she dives into your ocean

And why…why do you lock up?

Only to come up short

On this endless horizon on a cloudy night
