Doria Roberts Horizon
I am sitting in a subway station in Tokyo
The sun is setting somewhere behind the clouds above ground
I've been fighting through crowds, fighting back tears all day
Life has that way of tripping you up
Slipping you a three-dollar bill the first time you decide not to count your change
So here I am halfway around the world
Making a half-hearted attempt to make sense of all this noise
Quiet the chorus of voices in my head screaming
Go, Doria
Go now
Go yesterday
But my fear shakes me
Quakes me like the stomp of an evolutionary progression, the stepping [?]
And I am once again experiencing the irony
Of looking into and towards the light
Only to be blinded by it
Pale moon on the horizon
Another day is done
Satellite fights with the fading sky
Another battle won
Night and day kiss like old lovers
Sweet embrace, warm but brief
Passing time with one another
In the season of the turning leaf
Found myself asleep by the river
Found myself once again on your shore
Wait and see what this journey delivers
I cannot hope for more, more, more, more
Heard a sound, it was freed in dream [?]
This tiny rumble turned to mighty roar
We all get lost when the sirens sing
Then we become the siren's whore
So I'm learning from the horizon
From this infinite dance of light
Something's ended, something's begun
And there's no need to fear the night
‘Cause the, now the sun's on the horizon
She makes her way over the trees
Greets her true love from the distance
Sends a warm kiss on a cool breeze
Hey, yeah
