Light house

The Light House has gone dark
Sitting amidst the crashing waves
Motionless, wet and weary
The Light House is not warning, not searching for the living
But it still exists, this Light House gone black.

Oh how the waves taunt and tease the massive block
but someday the Light House will no longer be dark
It's hollow body cleaned out and it's lantern relit.

But for now in quiet melancholy
The Light House stands dark
Amidst the terrible might of the thrashing waves
It's light faded and it's voice silent
The Light House waits to be relit.
