Sentinel of the Seas
Sentinel, steadfast on the shore,
Entrenched in solid rock.
Neptune, enraged, rumbles and roils
Throws bolts to stun and shock.
Iredescent, the greenish glow,
Nodes of Elmo's fire.
Endures, unshaken the Keeper
Laugh at Nature's mad ire.
Lost on the pitch-black, tossing sea
Eager eyes scan the dark.
Nothing to warn them of danger
If not the distant spark.
Thus saves the Sentinel the ship.
No mariner's at ease
Except when succor he has seen -
Sentinel of the Seas!
