Poems of Lighthouse Bob
The Vagrant Lighthouse (Ballade) #458
The Vagrant Lighthouse The lighthouse ravaged on the shore Does vanish in the ocean's spray Where rustic hinges on the floor Reveal the broken hearted stray That once was noble in its day But now's a recluse, boarded shrine That fallen stair lain bare displays No more the battered light will shine. Yet, deep inside the heart, the core A sure and steady surge does stay The lighthouse on the verge of lore When, in renewal's glow, a way Does intervene, does make obey What forces God and time define, Wherein, the worthy and the raised, No more the battered, light will shine. The light within, on high, does pour Across the seascape of the bay So bold it's like a lion's roar To warn the wayward, gone astray That here the dormant and decayed Will not be banished or recline In solitude or in dismay No more – The battered light will shine! The lighthouse reminisced conveys That fortitude and strength combined Will never dim in disarray – No! More, the battered light will shine! |
