The Lighthouse

It stands erect over the sea and land
abounding in rocks and stones, protruding
from an ocean full of water and sand
guiding its voyageurs with its lighting

The lighthouse is a symbol for those who
have lost their way and are longing for home
a sentinel at watch, never changing hue
it is a steady light for those in roam

While she lights the candle for the sailors
this monumental grace house beams its light
as the moon turns a different shade of pale
this knight in shining armor shines out bright

Erected and assembled made of brick and stone
a masonry of strength, it always stands alone.

Christina Bowring Date: 10/9/2023 3:13:00 PM This is such a descriptive, well written sonnet dear Rose. You describe it so well that the reader can picture it so easily. Love the line,’ as the moon turns a different shade of pale’. The last line has great impact. Lighthouses can be quite fascinating, a saviour too and your lovely poem illustrates that well. So enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing . Hugs and smiles xx Login to Reply
