So a searchlight is used in two ways, it's bright light will attract others to a certain destination leading them from the darkness, but they must be attracted to it's light. Some are not searching, and strange as it may seem enjoy darkness. Others use a search light to look for those who are lost, they are on a rescue mission. Both uses are necessary and are referenced in this acrostic.
Searchlight
S omethings in the air...I can just feel it, sense it...can't you?
E veryone, everywhere seems uneasy with unsatisfied yearnings
A bout answers to life's great questions that have been
R evealed, but are carefully concealed for good reason
C ould it be that our minds and the intentions of our
H eart, and it's true desires, are being examined by our Maker?
L ike a surgeon dissecting cutting away the corrupting elements
I nside the heart, trying to decipher what is
G oing on in our inner selves, our inner being
H appy is the person who searches for and keeps
T urning towards and responding to the light of his truth.
