As the lighthouse beamed
In the evening sky
My mind was mesmerized by
The rhythm of the light streams
Dancing through the air
As I relaxed in my lattice chair
High above the tropical trees
On my little seaside hotel balcony
I knew the power of this intense light
As for so many years
The bold beam calmed the fears
Of those tired sailors traveling near
These seasoned sailors could count on the light
They knew safety and warmth was in sight
But… suddenly the beam seemed to miss a beat
Or did the evening heat
Cloud my tired mind?
So I frantically searched to find
That beaming light
I imagined what it might
Be like
For the sailors on a stormy night
If the light suddenly turned dark
Is that not like
What happens in our life?
When a light that shined so steadily
Whose support was always readily
Suddenly shined no more
Could one, like the sailors, navigate to safe shores?
Would one have an inner strength and light
So, bold and bright
That they might
Be able find their way
In the darkness and perils of those stormy days?
Treasure those lighthouses in your life
They will bring light
To your life
And help you to navigate
And bring faith
To those times
When your light may not shine
So bright
And guide you to safe shores…
