Land’s End

Lazy lapping waves

            Languorous wet kisses.

 

Lights of shore

            Glimmering glittering sinuous

Parallel lines

            Converging on me.

 

Circle

            Within circle

                        Within circle

The water

            The rocks

                        The skeleton gazebo.

 

At the end

            Of a causeway breakwater.

At the end

            Of human reach.

 

The way here

            Full of pale glow

Reflecting light of shore

Orion brilliant

            Overhead

                        Ahead.

Leading me out

            Leading me on.

 

The way home

            Path of shadow

Betwixt

            Shimmering seas.
