I stand tall
Unshakable
Against all
You throw at me
You can taunt
Me
Hit me
With powerful lashes
I will stand
Forever
Long after
You are calm again
I know well
Moods
Like elements
Can quickly change

They can indeed...stand strong...
ReplyDeleteI'd leave before it becomes worse...the relationship and the lighthouse! :-)
ReplyDeleteStrong and fierce, I feel it so!
ReplyDeleteNot only is this one of my all time favorite lighthouse photos, your poem is like a love note for a successful marriage.
