Today’s prompt is Shine your light.
i fear the sound
i fear the sound of splintering wood barely audible beneath the tempest’s roar i am the lighthouse keeper my mission is to save i stoke a flame behind the lens when wind and spray and torrents extinguish visibility my slow rotating beam penetrates the foggy depths of darkness warning of obstacles stay away stay away protecting sailors from rocky liquid death the ship’s wheel spinning in terror oh let it not be too late let not the salty water sear the lungs wasted lives and precious treasures scattered on the ocean floor better when the sea is calm and my light caresses the water’s surface the ship’s silent passage beneath moonlight and starlight and my light

Love the picture. Didn’t have time to find one. My poem has a similar metaphor: lighthouse keeper. Of course style and perspective are different. That’s why I love octpowrimo, same prompt multifaceted responsponses.

So glad I clicked on shine the light and saw Pharrel’s Happy video. I love that and IMO should be played on tv as a commercial during this time. It’s uplifting and many of us could use that feeling during the day. Thanks for that!
