we can be each other's lighthouse



we can be each others lighthouse 
as from a distance we can see 
no obstruction wailing--just   
the wide open sky, the raging sea

when wind and rain come furiously 
and vessels heel, seemingly 
without a prayer to save 
we look upon a further lighthouse,

in eyes  of the those who witness 
no masks can make it through the night 
we reveal our naked anguish, then god 
will hold the helm in washed down decks

absolving fear, as tung in groove foundations
we stand the test of journey's soulful singing
 holding trust to speak
of teak and brass bells ringing
