Peggys Cove

“The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry, A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day… ...A speechless wrath, that rises and subsides In the white lip and tremor of the face…” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Lighthouse PEGGY’S COVE horizon above Peggy’s Cove: altocumulus tangerine and larimar, depth of beauty and lemonade. whisper of lighthouse, “come closer…” small signage warns of romantic death. seal not your fate — keep your toes aloof wet rock. sweep of the waves on a stormy night the wanton call of sirens’ sway the boulders in a hurricane ~ a host of angels vigilant 10/29/2020

This is so dramatic, Kim, in its ominous warning and imagery - "keep your toes aloof." It does resound with the "siren's call." Very well done and in the same spirit as Longfellow. Stay well and safe.
