Best Beacon Poems

Just a circle in the dark, paved roadway
A halo of light in a blackened world
Just a ray of sunlight in a forest of shadows
Pointing straight while others have curled
Moving on, and searching the horizon
Just a lighthouse on a stormy night
A beacon to the shops in...

When you dread the break of day
and wait with the bated breath
the dawn of dusk 
for an eerie peace to descent,
When the balmy twilight 
singes your soul and you yearn  
for the welcoming arms of darkness,
When you begin to walk
and lose all sense of...

What sort of homeless person would I be
Would I cart all these books everywhere with me
Would I scream and shout to keep the world at bay
Or would I nod and smile by my tin cup each day
Would I dress real well, try to look like...

my brothers are coming

my duties I perform,
I peep through gaps
of a Venetian blind,
as someone on a bed
lies lazily supine.

beacon
of bright light; 
and let it shine on...
to illuminate the whole world!
when melancholy changes the white hue of the clouds,
erase every trace of it with a smile; bring scintillating sunshine back to the sky!...

It stands where the map dissolves,
at the edge where certainty falters—
a hollow bell against the wind,
a watchman staring through the salt-thick dark.

The mariner knows its miasmic vow:
a pulse amid the blank expanse,
a promise bound in lantern flame
that fractures the silence of the tide.

History sleeps in...

Fear not the violent storm
I am comfort safe and warm

Treasure all you hold so dear
Taste the memory of a falling tear

Never forget things of the past
Let their wind fill your mask

Hold your course steady and true
Be the person I see in you

Through out your journey...

Memories old of carefree days 

Aimless paths I took behind your gaze

Raging fire of youth made me break free

Intrusion and advise had me in a wrecking spree

Yet you stayed by me, when I lay beaten

As a ship in search of a beacon

Mom, I am blessed,...

A finger of light
   Warning of treacherous shoals
