This poem is a sort of a prayer
THE LIGHTHOUSE Sometimes in the night When I feel divided By my own personal pull Towards my inner core, And the tug of the world To keep me anchored in the life Pulsating outside me... Then your holy icon, Illuminated by a single candle By the side of my bed transforms itself into a lighthouse, poised on the rim of the turbulent ocean Of my own self-doubt. -Portia Burton
