"The Horizon's Lie" Inspired by Atana and the Firebird:

The Horizon’s Lie

Drawn in by glittering reflections

of reliable patterns,

the sea can’t help but be awed

by the sky it sees but cannot reach.

Attracted by the idea of more than a surface,

of hidden lights beyond,

the sky can’t help but wonder

what the sea protects.

To the casual eye,

sea and sky meet at the horizon,

but this trick keeps them tragically chasing

an impossible friendship.
