"Standing Guard"
Sailor by Cheyenne
The Lighthouse:
Old and Beautiful, Tall and Bright as it guides my Sailor home in the night.
Dark and Stormy sea,
the Hurricane tosses, his Boat rocks,
water breaches it’s Deck.
My Sailor’s in trouble,
His Ship as it begins to sink.
All hope is lost, until....
Until He sees Me,
My shadow cast out on the Stormy sea,
casting out miles away,
the powerful light within the Lighthouse,
guides my Sailor home again.
Safe and Sound, my True Love is found.
The Lighthouse stands Tall and True, perched on top a cliff,
Old and Beautiful.
A symbol of Our strong Love.
Faithful We are to It.
It’s faithfulness is forever to our Gratitude.
I made my way to view the sunset as usual at La Corbiere Light House, in Jersey, CI. There was a storm just making it’s way in towards land and there were these very dramatic clouds that hovered over the light house. The clouds didn’t stop the sunset however, which gave this amazing colour and texture to the sea. I couldn’t believe my good fortune. I have taken many shots of this light house but never caught such amazing colour as this before. Hope you enjoy it as well. The poem was above was written by a friend here on Redbubble, Cheyenne. please do check out her profile.

Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thank you so very much. I was so pleased with the result I had and the colour of the water. This is such a beautiful place to visit. I am so pleased that you like it.
Cheyenne
Goodness Me, look at that water! Oh wow just so amazing a beautiful! I love this one as well. Just so very, very much impressed and so proud to be able to have found you, and I Thank You for posting this. :) :) It’s just takes my breath away, and makes me and leaves me speechless or babbling. LOL :)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
How wonderful of you to say. That put a big smile on my face. This is a fantastic place to visit. The Lighthouse is (to me) the best place to visit on the Island, and that is saying a lot because it is all beautiful there. I have never taken a photo like this though, with the water that colour. I have never seen one like it either. This is probably the most unique of all my shots of the lighthouse.
Cheyenne
Wow! I will have to go there someday and see if I can get the water to shine this beautiful for me. Thank you so much Bradley, you made me smile. :) :) And you are so very much welcome. When I see something this beautiful, I must say what I feel. =)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
If you do visit, you will fall in love with the place as I did. Thank you again.
Bradley Shawn ... replied
BTW, take a look at all three. I couldn’t make up my mind either.
Cheyenne
=) Thank you so much for this. If you don’t mind I’d like to put all three on my Sailor page to showcase your Beautiful Lighthouse pictures. :)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
That would be very kind and generous. Thank you! I would be honoured. Please don’t feel that you have to though! :-)
Cheyenne
I am very much sure I will. ;) You are welcome. :) Thank you. :) :) :)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
No problem. If you do ever decide to go to Jersey, go stay on St Brelade’s Bay at the Biarritz (best hotel there)
Cheyenne
Oh no, I want to. This way I can look at them when I read my poem. They are just to amazing to turn down such a wonderful opportunity to showcase. :) :)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thanks! (grinning from ear to ear)
Cheyenne
=) Same here. =)
Cheyenne
Okay, I will keep this in mind. Thank you. =)
Bradley Shawn ... replied
No problem. Anytime!
Cheyenne
