Horizon
When I stand
I can see no further
than my horizon
When I fall
I can fall no further
than the earth
When I speak
I can only use the words
that are known to me
When I am listening
I can only hear you
when I am present
When I respond
I can only draw on my past
at risk of projecting
what I am familiar with
When I am honest
I can only relate to what is true for me
today
When I don’t know the answer
I can only live the question
