Poem no.1217. Something I wrote off the top of my head. Inspired by two strikingly different sources. First is as a kid I used to listen to my Mum's 70s music and one of the songs I liked was "Meet Me On The Corner" by a band called Lindisfarne. Secondly, I recalled vaguely W.B. Yeats poem, "The Isle of Innisfree". Taking all that into account I based my poem on a theme of retirement and escape from the weariness of age.

Interesting how you combined Lindisfarne, which is mainly symbolic for Christianity, with the pagan concept of a Tír na nÓg kind of isle. Beautiful poem!
