At Land's End


~ At Land’s End ~

I’m searching for a brand new world
to live and love with souls unfurled
look inside and you will find me
at land’s end, where I am most free

Essence captured, no need to roam
a place to make and call my home
share my sight, and feel what I see
at land’s end, where I am most free

Kiss the sunlight, sing to the sky
love in freedom, and don’t ask why
watch my heart soar (does yours agree?)
at land’s end, where I am most free

I’m searching for a brand new world
at land’s end, where I am most free

      Hey, dollface. You were almost first :) And this is a quasi-Shakespearean sonnet - correct lines and rhyme are there, but you know I don't even attempt to do iambic pentameter; I'm such a rebel :P And there is nothing like the ocean - your poem was beautiful. Love you, too <3

      Thanks, Stormy :) This place is Neist Point (you can just barely make out the lighthouse at the end) on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It's one of the places I'm most excited about seeing next year! I'll have to bring extra blankets and coats because once I'm actually there, I don't think I'd ever want to leave.

    Two sonnets in the same day? I am awed by the accomplishment and the sonnet. Loving the Soup Dragons too...

      The first sonnet I posted I actually wrote earlier this week - I just tweaked it a bit this morning before posting. But this Kyrielle I did write from scratch today. And I thought of you after I chose this song, because I thought you'd like this band too.

    Beautiful and exquisite.... this reminds me a bit of Venus, which I can sometimes see on a clear day when your planet slips ahead in orbit. Delightful! Oh, and 8 points, Earthling!

      Thanks for the points, Martian Dude. And I bet that view of Venus is beautiful. Not quite like an open sea, but still..... ;)

      That photo is on my list, we'll walk (or drive loll!) along that very spot when we go to Skye next summer :) I loved this song since the first time I heard it, and I know you're all about freedom and edges - what an irresistible combination.

    Pause at precipice, only as long as necessary to gather momentum. I like where this is going.
