Lighthouse

By Yeshaswini Srihari


Lighthouses are beautiful. 


They stand, alone by the shore 

Guiding the lost to the light 

Outshining the stars in the night,

But they never are called a home 

They are never truly loved like a house

The memories they see are of rough seas

Of losing yourself in insecurities,

But no matter how alone 

They always leave the light on. 



Lighthouses are beautiful,

But surely in pain

Just waiting for the day 

That a ship will take refuge again

And decide to stay


I wish to tell you,

That you are a lighthouse,

But you are also a home.


By Yeshaswini Srihari
