Eddystone Lighthouse During a Storm

I pray the lighthouse will stand firm
as waves are crashing overhead,
and if the tower's swept away, 
I have no doubt we'll all be dead...

Eddystone Lighthouse, During a Storm - William Daniell

This might be a short write, Jack, but it is lovely, expressive and effectively projects the image you speak about. ~ All the best. // paul
