Leaning a little to the side...A salty ode
The Harbor and the Lighthouse
The lighthouse stands
Tall, proud and gleaming
Maybe a little to one side
Its posture is leaning
The harbor lies close
Its mouth so inviting
Promising shelter,
Moments warm and exciting
But the lighthouse looks out
To the stormy approaches
Its beams shedding warning
For whatever encroaches
While the harbor looks on
And sees the strong tower.
She secretly longs
To be its true bower
Would it be so wrong?
If the sentinel shifted
And shed all its light
Within the haven, freely gifted
So listen right well
All you resurgent guys
To the murmurs of promise
From wherever they rise
Don’t pass up an offer
But consider, it’s best
To appreciate what’s good
And forget about the rest
