The Lighthouse Poem by Jennifer Birchall

I was going to lose light soon
It was a warm September evening
From nowhere came a huge gust of wind
The sky turned a deep grey, down came the rain
Drops as big as boulders battered me
Rocking side to side, I had no control
Faster as the storm took hold
Houses like lanterns in the distance
But I lost sight of the harbour
As the gales blew, waves covered my face
I couldn't find way, I was lost
Panicked I tried to call for help, signals were down
Then suddenly a light lit up the sky
As bright as the sun, I could now see the shore
Guided I safely made it to the beach
The storm ended as quickly as it came
