Times and horizons

Joao Noronha

There is a time
when horizons
seem so perfect
that hurts
until we discover
their source

There is a time
when horizons
seem so distant
that hope fails us
until renewal comes
from another day
another horizon

There is a time
when horizons
are brought to immediacy
and that feels right
in that time
in that space
precious as it is
then ready
to be released

There is a time
when horizons
are part of the painting
undistinguished
from any other form
color
or shape
and feels peaceful
for the heart
until one of the forms
becomes horizon

There is a time
when you
are the horizon
and walks
towards you
