Light house (concrete)

Light

Totally and 

Absolutely covered 

With love and hate 

Brick by brick, It was 

Put together with heartache and soul

 Standing tall against the raging current and furious waves

How do you stand so tall, why don't you fall?

Years after years of being pushed and pulled

Don't you feel the sting of the salt in your light

The stars, moon, and sky                           they 

Glitter smiling down at                              you  

Pale, peach, hot pinks,                              dark 

And Light purples, baby                              blues     

Oranges and greys, so many colours around you

It is a hidden beauty, one that only someone who is 

Looking can find, the only people ever to find such a
thing Is right there in your heart, right there
watching for you So many places you've been,
so many happy stories You've seen weddings

and funerals, you know each emotion

Awe, wonder, happiness, sadness, boredom,
 from everyone You meet and discover on

 your high bench to see the world I wish could
know the story of your life, the one that is going

Round and round your head, you smile
at me, you love fame Why don't you

 ever look for me anymore? What has changed?
