As it closed off some
Old hang ups,
Like, am I understood or good enough?
But really, what those others think is
Not of my will or ken,
It is how they choose
The order of this life.
I am flawed, as are we all,
And rather than
Exhausting myself
On anything save what I love
I intend to watch the sky and stars
For signs I may have missed, and
Though I may not yet understand
Just what it is that I am seeing,
I am the better, moving
Into this, some strange new light,
And I must say,
It's been awhile
Since I have seen horizon.
