Original Submission by Alex Tseitlin

The Horizon’s Debt

For every day

There is a night

For every rise

There is a fall

For every fire

There is a burn

In every beauty

There is a spot

And every spot

Soaks the light

And any light

Can blind your eye

For every start

There is NO end.

Some roads travelled

Might have a stop

But that's a start

To new path ahead.
