The cliffs

A poem detailing my point of view standing above the cliffs in Staithes.

By Ethan HallPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I stand, the wind blowing against my arm

The open air, the open sea

A canvas untouched, untamed

A memory for me

My family walk ahead

while I capture the beauty of this moment.

Just me, the cliffs, the grass

and the ocean.

It's all so new,

like a budding spring.

Similar yet unique,

it's own little thing.

I walk up a hill,

so steep my brow sweats like the neighbouring sea.

A challenge, a chance to seize a moment,

a chance to be free.

I look beyond,

an even bigger picture than before.

I see the journey I have made,

I feel like a bird mid-soar.

RAINING NOW!

What an end.

This is truly a tale to tell

to my family and friend.
