Light Emitting Temple

I shiver in the mist created by the waves Crashing on the rocks by the shore The wind carries the water through the air Into my pores, creating those goose pimples The light shining brightly envelopes me I stand there in awe of its glory The lighthouse beams with pride its strength In its story, lifting by the light simple Even though storms come, raging in strong Nothing seems to deter the lighthouse It’s power still is within its light rotating Just a douse, of dominance never crimpled Though we come and go--all around the bay It never deviates from its strong post Lifesaving light, which moves each night Like most, by this light emitting temple Russell Sivey

The spiritual lighthouse that guides all souls to the shore of salvation will never stop emitting its light my dearest friend poet, Russel! A luminous imagery of glorious proportions ! Superbly written my friend!

the light emitting temple what a perfect title and a brilliant way to describe a light house. I recently went to a talk on lighthouses on the calf of man which is part of our Island - it's a fascinating subject:-) hugs Jan xx
