Between Armorica and Atlantis

Lorenz

Unlikely places in marine pastels and elusive mermaids...-

    -----------------------------------------------

I left a piece of my soul 

where the earth ends ,

where  infinity  begins ...

Child born of the ocean and the forest

 who speaks the languages of the elves...

The breakers without rest ,

 who batter the enduring rock ,

holding within them the secret 

of so many shipwrecks ...

  Mystical silence .

Intangible presence .

Sings bard the voice of blood 

and the call of the land !

And you mysterious princess 

in your palace of haze and amber ,

improvise on the strings of your harp 

the legends told by the elders ! 

 fingers of the fierce wind carve the message

 into the flesh of the great menhirs

that defy the heavens ! 

 Melancholic lullaby rising from the mist

of the forgotten graves .

ghosts moaning in  the night ,

witches spinning in the sacred circle ...

Solar arrows of the sunset carry me 

on these shores of afterlife ,

 toward the realm of spirits 

Between Armorica and Atlantis ...

          The atmosphere really caught me here, Lorenz. Every passage adds another layer of mystery until the entire piece feels almost enchanted…richly textured and wonderfully immersive. Beautifully written, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
