An Ascent

Introduction

I wanted to write a poem about arriving on an island and climbing the mountain at its centre and arriving at the summit. Ideally, the cinquain should be visually centred to give it a visual identity as well as a lyrical one.

I found a cinquain where the basic verses had a connecting word so I am going to attempt this with just basic centring, with a screenshot of the centred text as the Vocal editor does not yet include justification although I am sure it will eventually come.

The music is "An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian Eno from "Apollo"
