You towered over me
and filled me with light
enough to guide
the most lost sailor.
From my heart’s lamp
stray shafts of radiance
escaped my fingers
and reached others.
I navigated the lost to
the refuge of your love
and protected them from
crashing into riverbanks.
I showed them the safety
I had found in your harbor
away from stormy seas
and the world’s angry galls.
