The Fury on a Horizon
Is there a sense of calm on the horizon,
or do we see clouds eager to storm
over us with unrelenting fury?
Does that red sky at night really mean
peaceful seas in the morning light,
and does looming darkness forbode
an air of ill will waiting to cross our path?
Who are we, with no power to dictate our fate,
to decide what awaits beyond our sight,
when our view of an everchanging horizon
is nothing more than a reflection of
our own inner calm or turmoil?
This poem is inspired by a photo and blog post,
