POETRY<br />
Horizons*<br />
I wouldn’t call it vast<br />
I would call it neverending<br />
I fear leaving the Past<br />
I fear-not forgetting<br />
I fear the precipice<br />
At the end of the World<br />
For I leave dry land<br />
Not knowing if I’ll return<br />
I’ll be on my own<br />
With only memories and wits<br />
Learning to Fight<br />
Learning to Win<br />
Pride surges me forward<br />
But longing holds me back<br />
My mind looks onward<br />
But my heart holds back<br />
Then I remember a Celtic blessing<br />
My father would recite<br />
Sky Above me, Earth Below me, Fire Within Me<br />
A shining light for the darkest night<br />
Art by Valeria Sugden Sánchez (9)<br />
I smile at the Horizon<br />
Sea winds challenge my stride<br />
My chin begins rising<br />
Let God be my guide<br />
*The scarce use of<br />
punctuation has remained<br />
intact as intented by the<br />
author.<br />
I summon all my grit<br />
I laugh in mad delight<br />
If this is the end... so be it!<br />
Fear has yet to feel my might<br />
- Cecilia Thon (12)
