Spirit of Place - Lighthouse

Outward from this place a great radiance flows,
The collective intent of the architects, planners, builders, and caretakers
The sweetness of brotherhood, guidance, succor and support
Sweeps through the web of light and energy
Seeping into the great knowing. It is
A harbinger of the mechanical light that follows.
Know that there are times when the mechanical would fail,
But for the intensity of human desire.
We could whisper of the times of darkness
When sea captains swore that they saw the light;
And they did.
Feel the energy that has spread and entrained the rocks,
The trees and all that is physical and non physical in this general locality.
Know that this electrical light is not the source of brightness,
For it pales in comparison as a metaphor made manifest.
