Heritage Port; Pristine and Preserved

By lupus tenebrae

Heritage Port, its
scenic shores put to canvas,
pristine and preserved;

a moment of its frailty
dignified with forever.

    That's actually the initial inspiration, Heritage Port is a scenic location in my home city, and there are numerous water colour paintings of it in the library, I was there for the Wheeling Series of Poetry and had some time to kill before it began, so I wrote this while I was waiting. Scholar

    "a moment of its frailty dignified with forever." - excellent imagery, captured by a wonderful turn of a phrase! Ciao, T/S Scholar

    Guessing a view of the Hilton Head lighthouse Wolfie. We have the Cape Florida light on a smaller scale but inop since attacked by Seminoles during the 1800s. Vestiges of another time that still remain but will eventually be reclaimed by time and the elements. Cheers! - Dan
