Horizon Bloom

Woke up to a quiet room, footprints in the dust.

Felt the weight of all the waiting,

learning how to trust.

Windows held us up in blue, like a secret kept so long.

I folded up the worn-out map and hung the hopeful sign.

Step by step, the skyline turns a ribbon through the gloom.

Breathing in the color, Chasing out the gloom.

Hands reach out, shadows move.
