Inspired by the Horizon Line
When someone searches for inspiration
They begin their search at the night sky.
Their eyes stare in mystery and wonder,
Gazing at the distant stars miles away.
They search for glowing comets and galaxies
And stars that race across the atmosphere.
Afraid they’ll blink and miss a shooting star.
That's why it’s magical when they happen to find
one.
Their eyes search for impossible secrets
That the vast empty night might hold.
They breathe in the midnight breeze
Hoping the air that had just kissed the stars
Might actually kiss them back, inspiring
them.
They always count on stars to share their
secrets.
Because are constant, no matter where in the
world.
Their loyalty to writers is what makes them
intriguing.
It's what keeps someone coming back to be
inspired.
Someone might hold their eyes to the sky for hours.
Waiting for words to come that captivates an
audience.
Meanwhile lost eyes miss just below the
horizon line,
The work of art that's been placed right in
front of them,
It’s Waiting for them to bring their eyes
down and search its beauty.
This work of art carries unknown variables.
Never constant like the stars and spaces held.
It changes based on where someone is watching
from.
The variety of art on the horizon line is what’s
alluring.
For some, they might see a distant city.
The life of the city glitters in the lights.
Busy cars rush by to a certain fast pace tempo,
While geometric buildings create striking
patterns.
For others, they might see an infinite ocean.
The dark waves create a dance in harmony.
The reflection of the moon lies on the water
It looks distorted, making a Picasso
masterpiece.
Someone might look down and see a young couple,
Fingers laced while stealing kisses as they
walk.
It might not be an art work like the familiar
sky,
But the couple has their own stars in their
eyes
Everyone looks to the stars to write poems
about.
Stars are unchangeable and as such
predictable.
If someone were to look below at what holds
the stars.
The risk of being inspired is greater.
What they end up writing about is uncertain.
But maybe, someone could write something
equally as beautiful.
I looked at the endless Logan sky tonight.
The stars were loyal and sparkled through cold
air.
Around me empty space stretched as far as I could
see
And tonight, emptiness is what inspired me.
