To The Lighthouse

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bonjour all!

Recently I came upon this stunning image that inspired me so much, I actually began writing just on this churning of emotions that I entwined with this picture. I would love to share with you all a piece of what I wrote and what I felt upon such a beautiful picture.

To The Lighthouse

Sometimes its hard,

To know that you might be here all this time.

And I was blind that I could not see you.

I bend closer, to hear you,

Yet this song I sing, I cannot bear

To hold it any more dear.

You'll just slip and fly away all the more.

I stand here, for years even.

Searching, looking.

When day curls and releases into night

It will never discourage me, nor will I falter.

Always setting my sights for you.

Watching the clouds drift and sink away.

I see another sea of dreams.

And I'm still here.

When all have thought I would eventually cease to remember.

How could I,

When all I had, all my heart,

I put them aside

And into your arms.

It was there I put my heart.

So that you knew no matter how far you may be,

I will always be where you have been all this time.

With me in Time.

When power comes to dominate,

Nature, she dares to swallow me whole.

And even so, I open my eyes and face forward.

For I will conquer my fear,

And that when I do, you are standing with me.

A bringer of strength unlike any other.

Nature may conquer,

But never my dreams, nor will it shape my destiny.

And that's all for now, ciao!
