Horizon...Free Verse Poem by Chantelle Clark

The sun rises from within it
The sun sets behind it.
But what is it really?
A fine line of the eye's imagination?
We see it, but we will never touch it.
When in space we pass it by,
So is it real?
It's not like the equator with coordinates.
It has no exact location, no points.
Some say its the edge of the earth.
But I think not because the earth does not have edges.
It is where the naked eye can't see any farther.
To the mind's eye it is where we can no longer see what lays beyond..
Maybe its the fine line seperating sane from insane.
But does that mean if we can never cross this line then there will never be insanity?
But see we do cross this line when we go into space, so does that mean space is insane?
No, but insanity is also uncertainty and space is uncertain and unknown.
This line so called the 'Horizon' is uncertain and has no points.
We can always see it, but never touch it, this might mean it is a feigning line of fantasy,
Seems real but it could just be an allusion.
So what is the Horizon exactly?
There are no points pinpointing its location other than the image of the mind's eye.
So this mean that the Horizon can not be classified as real because things that we see
aren't always real.
Are we not all just all living in a dream within a dream, where we make our wishes of
imaginations seem real?
Really were all living in a fantasy that we have created.
The Horizon is a feigning line of imaginaion, where we can no longer see the reality
of our own world....
