Wild Beauty

 

 Wild Beauty.

 

Shot through with wild beauty
this almost-island is so hard to leave.

Three sided by water a walk
round headlands breathing in drama
will not be regretted.

 

Remote enough to cause
near claustrophobia to those prone,
isolation\'s allure whispers  
not to all when granite tilts finger of 
stationery all-sided height

Skywards and changing
her dome\'s rugged mood greys and
force-torn then clifftop
performance awes even the bravest
when night has no moon.

Who dares test tameless 
feels seductive alchemy and ought
partake of ancient psyche 
for more mesmeric its mystical call 
on moorland and shore.

 

Tide running low or storm
exploding draws on adventure and
lends awe to mined coast. 

Tales coat pit-relics with
visitor invite to define Cornish gold.
