An Angel In the Sky

A seafaring schooner steered by the stars safely navigates hidden shoals once more. And avoiding danger, it bears no scars, tethered tight to a beam of light offshore. A blazing lance stabs at the heart of night, warning ships to beware of reefs and rocks. And every captain watches for that light to help guide him to safe harbors and docks. Standing tall wherever danger lurks near, the lighthouse projects its beam out to sea. And facing Nature's full fury, ships steer faithfully anchored to reality. A white lighthouse is pleasing to the eye, symbolizing an angel in the sky.

"A graceful structure, pleasing to the eye, symbolizing an angel in the sky." - You are such a romantical type of poet, Emile. Everything you do has your unique stamp. Gloriously wonderful, as usual my friend.
