(Untitled)

I am a child of the mountains, royalty of the sea. 
Within me resides the wise spirit of the earth, filled with clean, thin mountain air.

I am fierce, reckless, carefree; the waves are the beating of my heart. 
I am unmoving, fearless; the alpine winds are the air in my lungs.
Holding court in brackish haze that surrounds snow-capped mountains,
I have come home - at the end of the world between the ocean and mountains. 
Cliff faces and ocean waves, my birth place and my royal court - 
My whole world in this in between spot, at the end of the world.
