Light Guard

Light Guard protects
seafarers treading waves' ledge,
His golden rays  jut out 
the moon his torch...its luster beaming
 like heaven’s crown;
Into the pulsing bang of ebon crest...

With an upright frame 
in marbled robe, he gazes at pink of stars 
to rest awhile--then  stands mightily  
around  our town's isle,
Guarding his flock , fiercely,
into night's calm passage.
