Ramses Monumental At Mawgan Porth
Carved into the searing cliffside stone,
His colossal profile is unmistakeable,
His weathered features silhouetted against the sunset-
Ramses, with his ethereal gaze quite inscrutable,
Defies, craggy and alone;
Monumental, statuesque, rising from the sand,
His god-like expression is eternal but implacable;
And watchful, he towers over the incoming tide-
A sentinel, a deity, his presence quite irrefutable…
