The Lighthouse

She glows bright across the sea; Night siren calling to ships; Her voice rides the ocean air; She’s a life saver. Once her kind needed man’s help; Now automation rules her; She gets a bit lonely now; No keeper will come. Her life is a testament; Vigilant and courageous; She stands, sentinel of the Ocean, the lighthouse.

There's something fascinating about old lighthouses; I don't know exactly what it is but, it inspires. Something that prevents disaster and saves lives, sitting alone out there in the middle of nowhere is just captivating. Thanks again.

They are a unique piece of history; it must've taken a special personality to live in one. Thanks.
