The Shadowy Lighthouse

THE SHADOWY LIGHTHOUSE



The beauty that once decorated
every fiber of life
has been whisked away like
a dead leaf in the autumn wind.

Summer’s sunshine has turned to
treacherous storms, gathering speed
and strength and attacking
from the east and the west.

The dawn’s shadow,
a fog-covered sky,
hovers over a mountain-top
far too high to climb.

In the beginning there was light…
but now, not even a shred of
evidence that it ever existed is
found inside this lighthouse.
