Lighthouse Sentinel

Lighthouse sentinel Mountainous seas roaring straight in your face Where the clouds and the waves meet The lighthouse stands defiant, man's sentinel Mankind braves nature to save the fleet standing on her pedestal unwilling to relinquish Her eternal roll to the frothing rages of the sea, the lion roars crashing its waves to extinguish, but the watchtower refuses to buckle to bend the knee The crashing wave wraps itself around A fleeting hug from one of life's true bullies releases then returns cold to the touch Treating man's attempts at defense as follies Her shivering and drenched embodiment Endures its deadly dark flooding wrath Hindering navigating movements Of sailor’s Guardian Angel’s path Like lions waiting to be fed The storm devours all in its way relentless wave length Ignoring man's conceit as natures master With Its ever growing powers and show of strength. 4/16/2016 By: Stephen Pennell Collaboration with Eve Roper
