Sunlight and Shadows


Marblehead Light

I stand in utter darkness, thick and deep

Below, the rough waves crash on endlessly

Around me, stinging wind and cold rain weep

And yet I set my eyes in faith before me

For the one hope in this uncertainty

And there it comes, a beam of clear green light

In steadfast rhythm shines on fearlessly

A compass beacon sent to land and sea

The faithful lighthouse guides worn travelers through the night
