Beacon
Pigeon Point Lighthouse - Pescadero, CA (April 2008)
---
I am but a beacon
Like a lighthouse in the storm;
So, when it’s a friend you’re seekin’,
Come on in, I’ll keep you warm…
Like a fleece,
I will enfold you
To protect you from the gale;
‘though release,
No, I’ll not hold you,
When it’s time that you set sail…
Beacon Verse Series – Beacon© 1977 (part one)

Whoa Portia - this is really powerful - I like the small details, like the rust stain that's making it's way down the source.

Portia, this is so powerful. The break in the clouds above is extremely effective with the angle of the lighthouse. The b/w adds to that intensity. Your pov here is spot on. I love the Beacon Verse as well. Superb Portia. Bravo.
