Into the Horizon


steadily she follows the track
seeking light in an eastern sky
shadowy spirit dressed in black
steadily she follows the track
sun on her face, moon on her back
she missed the train it passed her by
steadily she follows the track
seeking light in an eastern sky

  5. I like how each line begins with the same Ss sound, maybe like the hiss of the train steam - and hey, if you miss the train, you can still folow the trail. Good on her for following - as many would just say "I missed the train so I must stay"

    The middle is my favorite:
    "steadily she follows the track
    sun on her face, moon on her back"

    2. Back in 2011, when the docs told me I was really ill, life-threatening even, I went outside the next morning and watched that sun rise. I did not take it for granted, I tell ya.
