The Settlers

Posted Jul 3, 2026 · 20 lines · 1 critiques

I walk here so quietly,

on this ancient hidden land,

a place of such solemn beauty,

of which no single soul could ever own.

No existence by noble birthright,

no title deeds to be found,

A place where the seeds of paradise,

have been long and lovingly sown.

From all the points of passage,

for every arrival is crowned,

A legacy of which we can all embrace,

No one to be left nor alone.

Read the rest of the poem Show less

This southern land "terra australis" ,

Where the mightiest oceans surround,

And to all the good folk to be joined here,

Bound by purpose blood and bone
