Lighthouse

LIGHTHOUSE

            Fiery Lightning flashes with thunderbolts
             Cluster of dark clouds assemble to roar
              Sudden gust in lust just bursts and revolts
              Startling rays from lighthouse not to ignore. 

             Violent Vortex threatens Vessels on sail
              Ocean waves thrashing on devastating ways
            Strong storms chasing forceful showers in hail
           Lone Lighthouse sending sparkling beams always

             Topsy-turvy ocean waves grow outrage
            Tremendous torrent break through rowdy cloud.
             Frightened passengers on dark night voyage.
              Tireless Lighthouse shines sleepless dauntless proud.

                    As turbulence in life seeks savior
                  Soul as  Lighthouse stands sentinel over.

I liked your poem. In the end two lines I see a commonness with what I expressed in my poem 'The lighthouse Calls' positioned in the contest.You asked me where do I stay. My best wishes from Jaipur.
