The lighthouse peeked over the cliff
letting its existence be known to protect
any and all crafts that may approach.

Solitary standing reminders
poised and tall full of strength;
self assured in life's meaning.

If only I could learn from the lighthouse
to be more like it, a sanctuary and safe
place, to protect with lighted majesty.
