Lighthouse
I listen to the summer rain,
falling from the somber sky;
tapping on my windowpane,
as the heavens start to cry.
I gaze beyond the looking glass-
pain that separates our worlds,
in search of greener looking grass,
or a tree that isn’t gnarled.
Standing in the misty light-
house(d), beside the stirring sea
she illuminates the starless night,
and the darkness within me.
She guides me back to her again,
from the tower up above;
shining light from deep within,
with the power of her love!

I can only hope to continue to inspire others in such a way :)
Perhaps my passion for nature is contagious, just as Summer's positive energy is! Heh... That means a lot, Shakespearan... thanks so much for stopping by once again!

Thanks so much for stopping by again, buddy! You make me smile :)
That first stanza was the driving force that got this poem rolling in the right direction... it is my favorite as well. I was having a bit of writer's block and Summer coaxed me out of it, so she gets due credit for this one. Anyway, I appreciate your continued support!!

Lovely write.
Wishing for that summer rain.....🥵
Sorry i deviate 😂
Its a tasty amazing feeling to be inspired and more beautiful is that the writer is open to display the affection in a poem for the person/writer .
Its a form of chivalry in my book.
Nicely done NewB.

Dear NB,
For me, I feel like I just went on a lovely journey with this write. It was so calming and so full of beautiful imagery. I truly enjoy lighthouses and rainy days and the feeling of renewal. Every time I went to cut and paste a stanza that was outstanding I realized it would have been the entire piece. 😊 Beautiful write. H🌷
