The Guiding Gleam

Within the heart where vibrant waves
Rise and fall to ocean’s test
Many ships through reflected light
Steadily steer till they are blessed....

Ashore their stands a bright light house
like a mountain looming tall
and guides the ships if they are right
or are drifting away at all...

When lost between misleading waves
they try to steer the righteous way
 the golden glow then rescues them
as tides change with glistening spray....

When these waves rest in peace
as each ship swiftly sails the sea
with all its might, the gleam of light
haloes the heart's true destiny...
