Lighthouse

Today my heart’s boat

floats with its lonely sail

against the twilight sky

as the evening sun surrenders

to the will of

impending darkness;

Now, my heart quivers

for perilous waves

of my furious mind

crash amongst

rocks of desire

in a shoreless ocean

And nighttide threatens

to strike another

wavering boat

with the thunderbolt

Of piercing fear;

I hear my sail

crack and bend

as I furiously row

toward that glimmer

of hope

for I know

His golden gleam

that shines through

grey fogs of doom

and every moonless night

will lead me home-

As my eternal lighthouse.
