Beacon
Shines through
The stormy sea’s rage
A light in the dark, salvation
Refuge

Guided by light, through the misty night
A ship finds its way, across the ocean
Bobbing in the sea, it remains a mystery
How it was brought here, on waves of motion
Or perhaps it’s the moon, makes sailors swoon
Unaware are they, of her alluring beams
Closer they come, until they are numb
Alas, all is not really what it seems
Still, the ship heads in, from where its been
Sails folded, as she glides toward shore
A crash, tis a sight, though try as they might
They can save themselves, nevermore

I held my place, upon the shore
Watched the boats in the harbor, glide
They kept their distance, thanks to me
And I was filled, with a sense of pride
For I was the one to watch over
The boats that passed through, each day
Making sure, they were safe from harm
As they made their way, into the bay
Their sails did fly, against the wind
Easier now, then from the seas
Flapping and swaying, in a rhythmic dance
Guided by me and the Nantucket breeze

His hands were rough
Against the softness of her skin
An unshaven face
Bristled against her neck
His lips, a salted cold
Whispered, sending chills
Time together shortened
He would soon set sail
A memory, until he returned
A longing deep within
He was all she knew
And it was his touch
She would always crave
