PICTURE TO WORDS 7

 

Such a place of beauty,

to be such a place of sadness.

The view is beyond description,

like floating above the earth,

Peregrines circling and calling from below.

Close your eyes and you can hear the river flowing.

Hold your arms out, the breeze feels like you are flying.

Look out beyond where the sea greets the river, and you can see the curve of the earth.

Clouds float below, sometimes above, and sometimes will engulf you in their wet embrace.

Lovers come to such places to share enchantment to last a lifetime.

But sometimes late at night, with tourists in the hotels,and locals warm in bed,

or sharing pints and stories at the pub.

Wretched shadows come,

to peer over the edge,

and step off into the darkness.
