Like the Horizon
I am curved like the hand at rest in the deep night like the cheek of a beloved child I am never reachable fixed– but not in time or place an illusion of distance always flows through me you see me you walk to me but you can never touch my hand my hair I am unobtainable fathomless “like the horizon I am more of a concept than a corporeal being”

This kind of poem sends shivers down my back. You have used the found phrase to write something beautiful and mysterious.
This is just brilliant. I love that you found such a source of inspiration in Dilbert. What you’ve done with it is amazing. I especially love “like the cheek of a beloved child.”
I like the poem and like the picture with it. Good work
I love it…anything about horizons..and painting horizons are my favorite
How AMAZING is this?! Great job! I love how you are expressive of yourself in the terms of being a person but out of someone’s reach.
