Lighthouse

On edge of time known
Standing strong against the storm
Sentinel of stone

Watcher of the sea
Foreboder of the danger
Shallow reef unseen

You can never sleep
When blows a raging tempest
The vigil you keep

Beacon in the night
Savior of many a soul
Brought home by your light

Another strong piece in which you link the lighthouse beacon with a larger force - perhaps divine - but consistently, a savior. Fine writing Jeff. Best wishes, Brian
