Lighting the Path

there
it
stood 
tall
majestic
solemn
facing outward
piercing the night
scrutinizing the horizon
looking out
for stragglers
lost desperate souls
drifting at sea
to guide them home

Thank you so much for your lovely compliment, WW. We do have many lighthouses here on PS. We do recognize each other, don't we. Very best wishes to you for the holiday season. Merry Christmas!

I can feel its tension...that lighthouse is one vigilant sentinel. Good luck in the contest.

Nice work, Line, I knew exactly what you were speaking of with the first few words, and I like poetry like this that paves a way for my imagination.
