[hometext] => This poem is inspired by the beautiful Irish legends of Tír na n-óg, an island paradise that appeared sometimes to the west
[bodytext] => The falling fog was dim and white Upon the mountains and the sea The gulls were wailing in their flight Like keen laments they seemed to me The surf was pounding on the strand As I went walking there alone Behind me was a shadowed land Before the sea as grey as stone But then I lifted up my gaze And saw the sunlight far away Had broken golden through the haze And on a distant island lay From far away there came a spark Of light as bright as burnished gold As I stood staring in the dark And shivered in the sudden cold And on the wind came sound of song That pierced the heart like wielded sword With Love and Joy and Sorrow strong And that for which there is no word But then the clouds reclaimed the gleam And crashing waves drowned out the sound As if I had but dreamt a dream And naught was there but gloom around And though I stayed upon the strand And wandered sadly by the shore I never saw that shining land Or heard that wondrous music more And then there came a sunlit day And I went down beside the sea I took my harp in hand to play Lamenting for my memory But then came one along the sand A girl whose hair was flowing free The colour of a sun-bright land And coming near she smiled at me Her voice to me was wind-borne song As I walked with her by the shore And found what I had sought so long May it be with me evermore [comments] => 9 [counter] => 349 [topic] => 2 [informant] => fionndruinne [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 45 [ratings] => 9 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
