The light house, a statue of liberation.
A state of confinement which beams down below, to the sea.
The sea gaining its power from this state, tossing, turning, wave after wave.
Stone, a difference from water.
Hard, cold and damp to the bone of its construction.
The freedom swirls below,
The light house unable to understand its own freedom and capability.
Lonely the sea is, but yet visited everyday.
While the lighthouse looks down envious of the water,
The light house, its gift of liberation and unique obscured from view.

The water moving, infiltrating,
Its liquid gold essence catching the view of those passing by.
Water, a bodies friend, no one survives without it.
While the cold stone land mark bare unrecognised, proud and gifted to its surroundings.
The light houses diamond cut lens focusing on the clear cut visible, translucent sea.
The waters natural existents shines back mesmerising all around, from every angle.
The light house cold stone walls retract the on going mesmerising energy.
Its stone walls emotionless with its man made memories,
To which all around, goes unnoticed.
Unlike the water which can convey its emotions with ease,
Eroding the shores of countryside while the statue stays unmoved.

The tide retreats for another day, the whispers of ghosts beneath are called.
The light house calls for its recruits for the early morning.
As the boats come in to dock,
It sees its purpose has been fulfilled,
Unlike the pure gold essence of the water, its purpose is yet to be found.

You know I saw my first when in Cape Cod a few years ago, and you have "personified" those great lighthouses as I imagined them then.  A wonderful piece of writing.
