Extended Metaphor Poem

1 min read

 

My life is the horizon on a warm summer’s night

My hopes and dreams mixing together to create a perfect sight

It all seems so close, but I can’t have it without a fight

I must act quickly before the sky runs out of light

I’ll do my best to accomplish all my goals

I’ll work as fast as I can, I want this with all of my heart and soul

But I’ll work so hard that one day I’ll start to fade

As I look back on all that I’ve achieved, I’ll see the life that I have made

As it slowly drifts away

I won’t ask it to stay

 

Because my life is the horizon on a warm summer’s night
