Lighthouse
( a Catena Rondo )
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
So far above the breakers when I climb
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
The view I seek in vain of any shown
Surrounded by a tower made of stone
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
The view I seek in vain of any shown
A present past no future heading in
Reminding me the places I have been
The view I seek in vain of any shown
A present past no future heading in
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
A master wind eternal brings me here
A present past no future heading in
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
An ode to Love’s seclusion as I wait
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
To be alone to give my heart to you
There will not be an end of all I do
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
So far above the breakers when I climb
To be alone to give my heart to you
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
So far above the breakers when I climb
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
The view I seek in vain of any shown
Surrounded by a tower made of stone
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
The view I seek in vain of any shown
A present past no future heading in
Reminding me the places I have been
The view I seek in vain of any shown
A present past no future heading in
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
A master wind eternal brings me here
A present past no future heading in
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
An ode to Love’s seclusion as I wait
I scan the sea in hopes the sky will clear
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
To be alone to give my heart to you
There will not be an end of all I do
For you my Dear, to whom I dedicate
To be alone to give my heart to you
I live inside a lighthouse in my mind
So far above the breakers when I climb
To be alone to give my heart to you

How I have seen that lighthouse shine! A guide from California to other coasts, across the sea, and back. It reminds me of a Gaelic Song -
tha mo ghaol air aird a' chuain
https://youtu.be/5vRM41ZhPOA
(this one has the translation)
about a sailor gone to sea and his return

Beautifully written. Love the lighthouse. Especially love, "A present past no future heading in". Am trying to get a grasp on it. Mind boggle with present, past and future all in the same line.
Hi Elsie, I didn’t see your comment till now, but I’m here now and I thank you for your read & your comment.
I think the best & simplest way to explain “present past & future” in a single line is:
The poem is during the pandemic, and as I look out to a horizon that shows me no future, the moment of present time is only able to give me thoughts & imagery of the past with the one whom I am lonely for.
I hope that helps. Be safe.
