Bright Vision

Contributed by fionndruinne on Tuesday, 30th December 2003 @ 07:00:48 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry



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

Mysterious and enchanting.

'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.'
More than words...

Such beauty! A bright vision indeed - call me ignorant, but I never thought you could rhyme as fluently and as masterfully as this!

Am truly impressed - and surprised. One of the most remarkable works I've had the pleasure to read in these hallowed halls.

Thankyou for procuring this one, Andrew.
It Gave me a smile in the heart.
