I looked in the distance and, lo and behold, there was no horizon beckoning like a lover's ardent plea to follow where he leads. Perhaps I was mistaken. Horizons must exist or else the same old, same old, gains a foothold in the door and overpowers me. So I cleared my eyes of fantasy and looked again long and hard till finally there it was where it has always been. So my horizon looms next to yours and his and hers in the distance far away calling softly, softly, "Please come to me". What? What? The deaf cannot hear and so the shimmer of horizons merely the tears it cries mournfully, heartbreakingly, throughout each live long day. Horizons? Yes, they're beautiful but lonely without you!

Great writing Helen but oh so sadly beautiful. Peculiar how there's a beauty in sadness......I guess that's why they call me mister blues. Oh well, I really enjoyed the read. Eric |

And to think that your horizon is an African horizon ... which is said to be unforgettable ... Love your words around this magical event, even if you convey sadness. Your heart is alive and its yearning song is heard. Love, Margherita |

Thank you all so much for your comments - and Margherita, yes, so many magical things in sunny SA but then again they are overshadowed by so many things that aren't. Same in all countries no doubt so we learn to live with what we've got and enjoy it as much as we can. Helen |
