I get your irony. In spite of all we do to make things right, sometimes they are perceived as wrong, wrongly. As a result, we must weather the storm, and hope that our dimmed lighthouse beacon is seen and followed to safety rather than crashing on the deadly rocks.

This concise work is truly loaded. The concept I most perceive is reliance gone awry through mistaken perseverance. “To crash his stalwart courage into but splinters of mistakes.” That is huge; “splinters of mistakes” — that cries out with emotional shrapnel, Odin. It is the last two lines that carry the mystery. And potential switch of fate, I feel. Very keen return to the typewriter in this one I see. Tell more of that story. ~~ djl

I like the image of the lighthouse and its symbolic meaning. I have used it myself a few times.
