Storm Ahead

When nature sheds it’s tears
Filling us with emotions
Bringing water
to the land and lakes
Just a reason we thank
The winter rainy day.

Vermilion Lighthouse


Vermilion lighthouse
by ronnie44052

 ’Tis glorious morning everywhere
Save where the alleys lie—
I see the fleecy steam jets bid
“Good morning” to the sky.
The gullies of the waratah
Are near, with fall and pool,
And by the shadowed western rocks
The bays are fresh and cool.

Sunset at Peggy’s Cove


sunset at peggy’s cove
by paul (dex)

 ’Twas but at the dawin,’
Clear the cock was crawin’,
I saw Peggy ca’ in
Hawky by the brier.
Early bells were ringing,
Blythest birds were singing,
Sweetest flowers were springing,
A’ her heart to cheer.

The Glowing Lighthouse In Stormy Skies


The Glowing Lighthouse In Stormy Skies
by NewfieAndy

 Glowing is her Bonnet,
Glowing is her Cheek,
Glowing is her Kirtle,
Yet she cannot speak.

Portland Head Light


Portland Head Light
by Kay Gaensler

 The streets were pav’d with golden stones,
The boys and girls were mine,
Oh how did all their lovely faces shine!
The sons of men were holy ones,
In joy and beauty they appear’d to me,
And every thing which here I found,
While like an angel I did see,
Adorn’d the ground.

From: Wonder by Thomas Montague Traherne

Pigeon Point

cause I carry you
with me forever
when we share
our dreams together
the future makes
me smile bright
you are my lighthouse
so guide me right

From: A Lighthouse of Inspiration by Nighttime Daydreamer

Shine Your Light

You strike a match of goodness,
And your fire will keep burning forever,
In my heart,
And in all the hearts of the people you touched.
Because you shine your light,
For everyone.
