Horizon
The direction you were pointed across all the years
The future you were moving toward without yet being able to see it clearly.
A possibility that kept pulling you forward even when the path was unclear.
When you organized your present around a distant imagined future.
The vision of where you were going that sustained years of effort.
What you were working toward when you could not yet articulate it.
A horizon that receded as you moved toward it and still mattered.
The long-term goal that gave daily actions their meaning.
When you believed something was possible before the evidence agreed.
The version of your life you were trying to build.
A direction more than a destination — a heading that shaped decisions.
What you kept your eyes on when the ground in front of you was rough.
The thing you were becoming slowly and without announcement.
A future self you were moving toward through accumulated small steps.
When the horizon was enough, even without arrival.
The aspiration that you held quietly because it felt too large to say aloud.
What you were building when no one could yet see the building.
The direction you committed to without knowing where it would end.
A life you could see from where you stood if you looked far enough.
When hope was not wishful but directional — a navigation, not a comfort.
The thing you were pointed at across all the years.
