Castle


beneath a salt sea-whipped precipice
the castle stands guard
over centuries of pirates’ assaults
invading the king’s lands
proud as the crashing waves
steady as the rolling centuries
the turret, home of the sentry,
towers over the ground
the walls still firm and stout
hinting at the strength of the army
now just a ghostly presence
seen through the fog
as steamships move to and from port
