Over the Horizon
(c) 2000 James Heald

It does me good to see you
To be in your presence
even if only for a moment.
I do well when I hear you laugh,
see you smile, look into your eyes
and find star clusters and constellations
reflecting to the heavens.

Horizon green of morning,
Lost between the red-gold-blue of day.
I wonder what I should say
After being with you. No word is enough.
They are lost somewhere over the horizon,
going down with the moon.
Itís all over too soon.

You are just out of reach
I feel your presence
but it only lasts a moment.
I do well learning the lessons you teach
as I follow you over the horizon,
catching twilight with my teeth.
Soon, Iíll be with you again.
