Horizon.

Horizon: keeper of memories and beauty.

When the moon's light was smudged,
We fell upon the horizon.
There shine and shadow mated,
And I knew why the moon was smudged.

When stars were asleep in the warmth of night,
The lost ones fell upon the horizon.
There they simmered in this sublimity,
And I knew why stars broke and tumbled.

When we ceased to see stars in the darkness,
We created our own,
We shone their light so far into horizon,
It awoke with every dust of beauty.

Horizon, a line where paradoxes paint,
Where man's and nature's beauty forever dwell.

Very interesting & unique observations stated with clarity & balance. Your poem brings to mind that the horizon isn't just a line in the sky, but a border between vast & varied realms. You illustrated this well with word pictures. First line of third stanza, I think you mean to use "cease" instead of "seized"? Thanks for sharing

This poem is beautiful.
I enjoyed reading every line of it.
I like the way horizon, is described here: "Horizon, a line where paradoxes paint"
paradoxes it is, we may view the end of sight at the horizon, but there's much beyond it and if we reach the point, our horizon extends further. The meanings right through the poem, struck me.

These lines were, fab!
"When we seized to see stars in the darkness,
We created our own,
We shone their light so far into horizon,
It awoke with every dust of beauty."

Great piece of writing. :)
