Light House


Clear blue sparkling water
Laying there motionless
Still for the moment
But water never lays calm for long
A storm is coming soon, it always does
Dark clouds start to assemble
Can't you hear the rumble
waves crash down tugging me under
I fall bellow, I always do
Water surrounds my lungs rushing into every crack and crevice
But look over there  a light!
A shining star in the night
My hope
It guides me home
Safe into calmer waters
Into a clear blue night
A million stars in sight
Not one as bright
And right when I almost slip back into the storm  light is shining the way again
Sure sometimes it flickers but it's always there in the end
My savior
My happiness

<p>Is there a certain person or object that the metaphor is for?&nbsp; Otherwise the metaphor about how it gives you hope is really beautiful.</p>
