Lighthouse and the Turbines
Striking beauty reflects from the ocean
Lighthouse pours out its light on the water
Playing with its powers it shines so bright
In the dark, light tends to make things greater
Nearby are some turbines collecting wind
Some old, some new, of which serve a purpose
Beauty of their form brings certain nostalgia
Being with the lighthouse is a bonus
There comes a time when a storm does arrive
And the lighthouse is sure extra special
Burning the night sky it pours out its light
And during this time the turbines struggle
Turbines spin so fast it’s hard to control
They still remain together, a strong form
The lighthouse is proud, giving off its light
Guiding all to be wary of this storm
The wind turbines bring the lighthouse its light
Beautiful pair is what they have become
Both are needed during path of the storm
If one falters they’re like worthless poems
