    Poem Commentary

    Don your poetry berets, lol! Lost continents were the inspiration for this one. It's in the vein of For Summer Isles, though different enough I think, and longer! And, of course, enjoy!

    "Aquafire"


    The first horizon is a grassy edge
    The daring blades so absent of a care
    It's a mile down, the loneliest ledge
    And never a fence, none required there.

    The next horizon is the sacred sea
    The realm of tempests, the realm of realms
    The saline being of futures to be
    And there the islands are the crystal helms.

    The third horizon is the atmosphere
    The sea winds come and go in strange delay
    There the stars reside and resonate clear
    Dreams begin there and remember today.

    The next horizon is the ancient sun
    A cosmic fire for the cold planets
    The heart of the system, the heart of one
    As the solar skies maintain their exits.

    The first horizon is a galaxy
    There the dimensions collide and divide
    There the destinies are the ecstasy
    For as long as timelessness will abide.

    I used to describe the moon, as exit of the night. I enjoyed your 5 horizon. Great Work, Stardrift.

    Thank you, Gwoo, lol! That is an interesting similarity with the exit element then. I'll read more of your ruminations. Heartlight!

    A mind expansion prod, getting us to consider beyond the unspoken "lost" horizon, for there never is a last one. Harv

    Thank you very much, Tomsson. I'm ok with infinite new ones - as long as it isn't due to amnesia! : ) Spirit bless.

    This prose takes me away to another place. It's sort of otherworldly, if you know what I mean. Ethereal in many aspects. I love that ittransports me when I read it. Great Writing!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
