Horizon

.

I see it on the horizon:
a ship sailing from deep within my soul,
moving ever closer on the winds of change.
As it nears, a figure comes into focus,
a lone boatman,
a new me.
Naked,
pure,
shining brightly under the solstice sun,
shining brightly from within.
As it docks, he smiles in my direction,
but I am no longer there.
I’m on board,
ready to set sail into the future.
