Inspired by "Light Years," by Robin Carrig. Available from Amazon.

Light Years



The lighthouse is a very lonely place…
An island in the middle of the sea
Where seldom can be seen a friendly face.

As keeper of the lamp, it falls to me
To guide the weary sailors toward home
With hope within the beacon shining free.

Within the walls, I feel the spirits roam:
Two lovers seek reunion of their souls
To ease the ache of lives lost to the foam.

I hear it while I sound the morning tolls,
The longing and regret that mark the years
Since passion was ignited like the coals.

Rejoining them will dissipate their fears
And free them from an afterlife of tears.

People are drawn to the lighthouse by the many legends and romantic writes. I have done several paintings of them and they seem to be sought out quite a bit :-) I could feel the nature of what the lighthouse is through your write :-)

A twinge of longing and sadness. Yet, could feel the longing of days gone by. Well written.
Be safe,
