Haunted Lighthouse

In the tower where the sea churns cold and deep,
A lone light flickers while the watchers sleep.
Winds carry whispers up the spiral stair,
And moon stains dance upon the weathered air.

Footsteps echo though the lantern’s glow,
Where once a keeper watched the waves below.
His duty ended where the shadows creep,
Now his vigil haunts the beams he swore to keep.

On storm-spent nights his figure walks the rim,
His silent call lost in the fog so dim.
Here the sea and spirit blur without a seam—
A lighthouse lit by memory and dream.
