standing across from the light on the cliff i imagine the old days when ships sailed only with the wind relying on the compass the stars and god to bring them to safe harbor
the genius of man devised the lighthouse to illuminate the shoals the treacherous rocks halfhidden in the deep the shallows that would swallow a keel to feed the always-hungry waters
how useful a lighthouse would be could we build one for living to light safe passage through the murk of everyday but there is no such remedy
so we navigate careful as we can hoping not to founder hoping not to sink always tempted by the song of sirens that would lure us to our doom before we reach safe harbor ~ copyright 2016 RC deWinter
A view of the historic landmark lighthouse at Split Rock - originally known as Stony Point on Lake Superior in Minnesota. Completed in 1910 by the US Lighthouse Service, it operated until 1939, when the Coast Guard took over patrol.
