Upon the rocky shore, a beacon bright,
Its steadfast light a guide through darkest night.
While sun descends in hues of pink and red,
The lighthouse stands, a stalwart figure head.

The waves crash 'gainst the weathered stone below,
A ceaseless rhythm, ancient ebb and flow.
Yet still the tower remains, resolute,
A guardian watching, ever vigilant mute.

The vast expanse of sea and sky surround,
Horizon's line where heaven meets the ground.
This timeless scene, a testament to might,
Of nature's power and the human fight.

The lighthouse, proud amid the fading day,
Eternal symbol, showing safe the way.
