I’m moving beyond the horizon of my dreams,
Like a traveler I’m wandering and
Exploring what remains unexplored
That can lead me to undiscovered treasures,
All set to take a deep plunge
Into a sea of my thoughts,
The horizon looks no longer threatening,
My faith and I embrace
The little wonders that I waited for so long,
Darkness disappears,
A thin passage of light illuminates me,
My own sky gets brightened by the truth.
No contradictions now mar my path,
Endless time I have stumbled upon
To ponder over abysmal darkness
That I’ve left behind,
A land so sublime lies ahead,
Blossoms blooming in wilderness
Mesmerise me unveiling their tapestry of colours,
I forgot about all that’s gloomy and stale,
Eager to tell the story of romance I wear,
I keep my eyes wide open
And pursue the light of my desires.
I’ll follow the path of the morning sun
Search for faces familiar,
Touch the hearts of those
Who I ignored once,
Revere in the glory of light,
Beyond the horizon of my dreams
Waits a new tomorrow,
My cloak washed with love and warmth
Promise to conquer the brutality of hearts,
Merge with the rhythm of the universe,
My eyes are wide open,
Ready to pursue the light of my desires.
