lighthouse

[lost to be found]

Nestled in the harbor,
high upon the hills
the lighthouse stands far away
jaded from the years
faithfully giving of her light
that brings no ships to shore
her light only calls out for help
in search of something more.
The lighthouse stands in solitude
projecting beams so bright
masses of ships seek a light
and she hopes they try to find;
what they need to become so safe
away from dangers grasp
but all she wants is to touch
a ship of mighty mass.
All who find her are the ones
to scared to dock at bay
ships would rather fight the waves
then sail a different way.
As time does pass, her light goes dim
with every ship her light does kiss.
she hungers too, and begins to miss...

A ship that sailed one day
that found her in a storm
holding on to her so tight
her light helped guide him home
while he stayed, her light burned brighter,
she felt her purpose more
feeling her place is where she belonged
then what she thought before!

When the tides come in
they have to go out
and shallow water remains.
A ship that docks need to survive
and has to find new bays.
That ship set sail upon the waves
as her light shown the way
that night it burned a shade of blue
to guide him far away.
and send him out into a place
that she can never touch
cause her light cant reach that far
her light goes dim from lust.
Storms have come with rain and fog
blocking her light once more
trying to go back to the day
saving the ship from the storm.
She longs for warmth
but gains no more.
Realizing the place for thee
is nor the ship or even at sea.
There the lighthouse stands alone
with a steady beam at night
protecting ships from her shore
wondering how bright to burn her light.
What ships dont see is the echoing inside
that long to feel something
she searches to go back to that night
just so she doesnt have to feel nothing.
She knows very well that ship is gone
So now her light must be
buring brightly to guide the one
that is ment for thee.

it seems a little wordy. in a way...small in the thought of the subject. u did well in describing it but it seems youthful. i suggest u keep posting and keep working on different things and ideas. u are doing well at giving the visual, and at sympathizing with the thoughts of the lighthouse. i can see that lighthouse as being an old woman who has seen her days and done her share.just wordy....keep posting.
