And here is my try:   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130127.html

attempting the style of Frost to the above photo


Swooping by Earth
     of a Chilean evening

Kissing Andean peaks
     sliding o'er Santiago

A splay of light
     across a seldom traveled scene

To adorn the heavens
     a stab toward my mien

And you--
     will you join me in the way,

And sparkle
     with me lightly through the day?


(after posting on RS's post, I realized I'd combined two of Frost's verses to compose my inspiration)

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thanks, Sunshine. I hardly ever write anymore and it feels good to be doing some.
