sylph lyric
By FadedBlues
(pentametric iambs)
I strive and am what I was made to be –
Thank God I’m not the mountain, nor the sea.
Majestic, with a cap of silver snow;
A spire of conquest, stalwart climbers know.
The mountain stands with staunch supremacy,
Yet rooted to one spot, eternally.
Though nowhere can the raging sea not run,
Still just the surface feels the warmth of sun.
It’s sunken depths, penumbric murky gloom;
It’s soul confined to inky liquid doom.
And I am light, and borne of wind, and free!
And scorn majestic mountain,
raging sea.

Land and sea make this world, but we are in the world, not of it. Nice tribute to your existence. Not sure if I'd rather brainless existence....huh, sometimes maybe - XXOO

Wings cannot comprehend sedentary stone. Wind cannot comprehend the inanimacy of soil...and why should it? Why should the sylph care for stone or sea, when a sylph's heart beats fierce and free? ;) Lovely.
