Shipwrecked in the Land of the Gods (Poetry Inspired by Travel)

Shipwrecked in the Land of the Gods

                                                    Ravaged cliffs lift
                                                    ebon basalt blades,
                                                    cutting wind from waves
                                                    in blasting spray.

Poseidon’s fingers
play in lava arches.
The land’s breathe
condensed in sea.

                 Booming flumes,
                 mottle air with brine.
                 Hairs of crystal salt
                 shimer in time.

                                                   Aligned in endless
                                                   battle of sea and earth.
                                                   A shaping of states,
                                                   the cycle of death
                                                                                                      and rebirth.

I hope you enjoyed the video poetry reading 🙂 🌿

All media used in this post is either my own, or creative commons license (linked below the post). All video used is my own, filmed on Lanzarote. Unfortunately, my phone camera is not great and the photos from inside the lava tunnels turned out rubbish due to the contrast between darkness and light. So, I decided to source some wikimedia pics. The music used in the video poetry reading is from incompetech.com (royalty free), please follow link to verify.
