Tower of Light

Dedicated to all bright beacons!

Stark against the sunset sky,
Stands the silhouteed lighthouse, high..

Beacon lit and ready to beam,
Bird on light strangely seen!

Light meets light against the sky,
Warning sailors what is nigh..

A dark tower but source of light,
How dramatically seen at night...

Circular wonder built so tall,
Symbol of rocks and land and all...

Who might be in the tower to watch,
A lonely keeper on top noch..

Against the orange and blue ribboned sky,
A warning to sailors stark and on stand by!
