Summary

Poems, named after the least important of them beacuse it has a pretty title. Which does not mean they are supposed to be funny. The cover has nothing to do with the themes, but choosing one that did match was impossible, as so many themes are dealt with. What these poems do have in common is that they talk about either life choices, conflicts or passionate emotions. "At the foot of Blue Mountain" is a very special poem as it was written on a birthday, and deals with the author's deep fears. It was thereby chosen as the first poem, even though it was not written first. The others are left chonogically.

At the foot of Blue Mountain

At the foot of Blue Mountain

A small boat washed ashore

Aboard a faceless figure

Awoke from timeless bore

Stood up and walked to the wall

Of blue rock, silently

Watched the dead leaves slowly fall

Under the giant tree

“It can’t be dying, can it?”

A small voice spoke up

The figure glanced from her hood

Down to where an elf stood

“Well, if you have an idea

Do go on, tell away!

But whatever we do now

Can it bring luck our way?

Will any cure work for sure?

Can this be even healed?

Amongst everything we try

Isn’t it all a lie?

It’s dying now, as you know

And then we all shall die

Is it all worth the trouble?

Might as well try to fly.”

“I used to fly!” said the elf

“Not now, but I used to.

Now my wings are too weak, but...

If I could, so could you!”

For a moment silence reigned;

The little elf reached up

To tug down the hood, to see...

But it pulled back slowly

“Don’t!” said the figure quickly

“There’s nothing there to see!

I’m just a faceless figure

That’s all I’ll ever be

I have nothing to live for

And no home anchors me

All I do is sail, see:

There’s nothing but the sea

Await the day when maybe

You’ll be as free as me.”

And she left for good the elf

Guarding her giant tree.

mariedavismd312: This was Avery spiritual read. The last 2 chapters where very disappointing. That was such a let down unless there is a sequel. Burgess should have been punished for what he did. There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
