Birth Rite of Passage

Shining alone

a beacon as the light

in the night

from the spire

off the ledge

at the deep and

rocky edge

 

Ship at Sea

Relying on me

as the illumination

saving her from

devastation

I shine here alone....

lonely

Like the brevity of the

meeting

of the sand and the foam

Tide in, then retreating

Glorious moments of  collided

connection

 

Must prepare for the

rejection

For it always comes

as it must

And once more, I

must entrust

my lonely heart to

intertwine

with this deep purpose

of mine

 

Shining alone

a beacon as the light

in the night

from the spire

off the ledge

at the deep and

rocky edge
