What Is a Light House

The lighthouse glows like an angel’s halo,
With gloomy mist accenting its wings,
From its dark fortress an image springs
A distant ocean audible yet delicate 

For breezy comforts minerals contain
Its stately stones now chiseling the sea
Rebellious waves on calcite breaking free
To them there’s no hindrance or strain

The parent Stones chip from Demanding Care
And Piece by piece the Fractured calcite falls
For savage, callous rebellion took its toll
Lighthouse close to Unsafe edge breaks

As light house falls,the former values fail
Or rather fresh values dominate and stand
Its own ideals from its own command
Like Voyagers on Rough and hidden trails
