"Night Light" by

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.

La Corbiere Lighthouse, Jersey, CI stand as a beacon of warning to ships that pass by the treacherous waters of the English Channel. The light house is a great landmark and a tourist attraction. It is also, I believe, the best spot on the Island to watch the sun go down. La Corbiere will feature quite a few times in my space. Hope you will enjoy them. This was taken on a wonder around the rocky terrain that the lighthouse is built on. The way the rocks project out and in all directions creates for interesting landscape shots. I had to move quickly as the tide was on its way up. The poem above was written by a friend here on Redbubble, Cheyenne. Please do check out her profile.
