The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse By Kevin Robey March 6, 2013 The wind-swept sea breaks across my face Approaching the storm, straight into the unknown It’s funny to think how I landed in this place But it brought me to you, more than I ever could have known Woke up this morning thinking of you Clichés be damned, love is in the air Whether this was a dream, or actually true Deserving of misfortune, this hardly seems fair Your hands are on the wheel, guiding the stern Long ago, the wretched sea should have claimed this name But here I stand, ready for each and every turn I have discovered the antidote for that undying flame My ways these days and nomadic in nature But I am not wandering, and far from alone I have you by my side, finally took your lure For you are my lighthouse, a light always shown With courage at my back, and wind in my sails I stand on my stern, facing the great unknown This hull is warped but greets every wave without fail I know I’ll make it back, ‘cause with you I found a home When my tour at sea has reached its natural end I’ll turn around my ship and aim for that light in the fog I’ll maroon my ship upon the flawless sandy shore Break through the door, and up the stairs in a jog I’ll look you in the eyes like I always do Pick you up and hoist you into the air See in your eyes all in the universe that is true I can rest knowing I don’t’ have a care I kiss you like it’s the first time, and the last time Feeling the pieces come together, to be whole again I laugh at loud, without even a reason or rhyme Knowing this is the life, a perfect 10 out of 10
