A Lighthouse

  
             the
            beam
             cuts
          through
         the mist 
         on rocky 
         cliffs of 
         iron and 
        stone. it 
       stands to 
       guide the 
    weary home 
      and guard 
       the lands 
     from raging 
      storm and 
      cold black 
        spray. It 
       saves the 
       souls that 
        lost their 
        way. Tall 
         against 
         the gale 
         of night.
         A steady 
          eternal
          source
          of light.
          [______]
