The Lighthouse

Photography and Poetry

“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors” African Proverb

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse
A white house
A shining beacon
If you’re seeking
It will guide you safely
When venturing bravely
While following that breeze
Through the unknown seas

The Lighthouse

“A ship on the beach is a lighthouse to the sea” Dutch proverb

The Lighthouse

Follow the light
Without a fight
And you just might
Have a journey
Without a plight
The beacon
Is the reason
Your vessel
Found its way
Without a hassle
Safely, into the bay

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” Jacques Yves Cousteau

By the Seashore

I still remember
That one September
The bluest of skies
And it was warmer than July
The water clear and inviting
The air soft and delighting
Not a worry in sight
Everything quite right
In the distance
For an instance
A boat or two
Disappearing from the view
Most tourists already gone
Leaving us alone
Enjoying in peace
With a short lease
The last rays of summer
