[bodytext] => These are the cliffs, proving Ireland's finite edge,
Steep slabs, rugged hearts of olden things, of all forgot.
We tremble at the slope, skirting these stormy world rims.

Abysmal facade, you wear our souls, drown us in
Your booming laughter, hide us, dead, in your
Wailing depths, the unseen.

Rip tided brinks, your face is invisible, but
I know it is there, carved by watery hammers over time.
Marooned in Earths deep gut, confined to gleam,

To hold each setting sun in granite wound.
So stay here at this height, watch the futures malison erupt,
I have no need of you, I wont leap from your grassy head and fall,

Toward the sky...

I agree with Phil, the wording and image shine like emeralds. It reminds me of some of Wordworths early nature poems. I must humbly disagree with your conclusion, - if I have read correctly- You do need it, but don't need to fall skyward-horizonless- to keep it. Thanks,
I.B.

Holy heck zenith!!! I mean, good grief! You've once again, taken me with you and
what an imposing sight to be sure, however magnificent. Your wield that pen like
a paintbrush and your words are as paint. And what a stunning array of pictures
you paint for us. I have never seen this place (in person or in book) and yet, I feel
as if my memory holds its photograph. All because of this piece. Bravo poet. Your
endless talent with descriptions draws my envy.

(I hate you, you know that right? lol j/k)

Très bon, mon ami. Ceci est magnifique !
