Lighthouse

Look! straight through the window to the far right;
in the eyes a sentinel of delight
guiding those battered souls, away from shoals;
heavenly bliss wrapped up in its structure
towers over, the land high in the sky;

hope for all folks who are adrift at sea;
overcast with nightshades you still do shine
unrestricted, you beam your light divine;
such rock and steel, you stand still to adore;
eyeing, you bring lost ones safely ashore.
