The fire... A will, a want, a dream.

Some of us long for a fire to appear on the horizon of our life, something for us to fight for, a purpose to give meaning to our dull days. We long for it... We wonder how others reach so high and how we are left behing stuned at their success, trampled in their pursuit.

Some of us fight relentlessly, struggle to keep the flames in sight, to reach the horizon at whatever cost! In the end it doesn't matter what the trail behind us looks like for we never look back and nothing is as important as the fire that consumes our very thoughts.

Some of us are consumed by a ever so far horizon... Forever out of reach. We can not stop, we can not give up, we are addicted to the chase. Driven down to our bones to fight for something that we can never reach. An impossible achievement we just must obtain.

When the horizon burns... Who will u be?

I have been asleep but now i am awake
I let the water flow to the emptiness of the sea
But I couldn't keep up

I look at the water passed
And see all the times I cried and all the times I smiled
I see knots untied and bitter lose ends

Like in the eye of a hurricane I stood unmoved and unchanged
The wind blowing around me
And the leaves of my thoughts blown far away

But I awoke and took slow steps out of safety
Soon I was caught in the drafts and the dampness of the rain
The drops and tears mixed on my skin and I was lost

Now I look at the sea of my memories
And regret the bitter taste of lost opportunities
I see myself in a broken glass lying on the floor

For the first time in this storm
I can see, I can hear and I can breathe
I can admit I am too proud to change all the things I said and wish I didn't
I can long to replace them with all the words I never spoke and wish I had
