A stoic sentinal midst waves, you staunchly stand erect and tall. Emerged in frothy, churning white, you hold your own in nature’s squall. Atop, your beacon light shines bright to let the mariners know well, there is a guardian at sea that can be seen above the swell. How stoic now you bravely stand, against the terror of this storm. Your eyes look out with searching beams for those caught in the sea, forlorn. What glory when your light is seen above the mountains of white waves. Salvation in your light of red denies the sea more mortal graves.

Hi Sandra, another excellent write from your pen. Another different approach, the sentinal is the star of this wonderful write. This write once more told in your gentle style. Your words sing in their flow Sandra. While they do just let them come for they create some outstanding poetry. This one should do well. I hope so anyway. This is a seven from me Sandra. May they forever stand tall before the storms of the world, our sentinels
