The Lighthouse

Contributed by softerware on Friday, 7th June 2013 @ 12:29:21 PM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems



To Norm, who was always his own.


Silent beacon in the night;
searching for a glimpse of light.
Peering through the murky gloom;
warm within your outward tomb.

Ever faithful amber beam;
Halo of a lovers dream.
Stony walls of courage made;
Mortared by the debts youve paid.

Stand alone against each storm;
Flickering solitary form;
Weathered scars etch out the toll;
Yet safe within your silent soul;

Untouched by all the dark youve seen;
Your hopes and trust burn on serene.
Keeping lit tomorrows fires;
Guardian of my childs desires;

Ill keep watch with you tonight;
And chase my dreams beneath your light;
Until there are no storms to face;
Your arms will be my resting place.

1970

Very, very nice. It sort of has a soft appeal to it.

Thank you for an enjoyable read.
