Breakers Blow - Sentinel Stands

quatrain Though strong gales topped the weather charts in both speed and intensity; the winds of our valiant spirits went unmatched in sheer density. Crowded in the ship’s hold we prayed as freezing forces whipped us about. We strained our eyes for the beacon's light as hope chased the fear and the doubt. Our captain, resolute on these waves knew that old lighthouse was a rock. Steady signal though dimmed by the storm kept us safe as he sought the dock. That evening we viewed on the news what real danger we had endured. We thanked God for his presence with us and the sentinel which stood secured. 11 - April - 2016 Contest: "Sentinel" Quatrain Form Host: Eve Roper
