What treacherous tales have you to bear amidst the ocean's fury--
Oh silent sentry proclaiming warning
To ships from ports afar?
Into a rock your roots now rest withstanding violent gales.
Defiant beams from your eyes
Outshine the thunderous waves.
November, 2005 by Glen Alan Woods
I wrote this while visiting Cannon Beach and Seaside on the Oregon coast. The specific lighthouse that inspired the poem is Tillamook Rock Lighthouse.
