A Lighthouse Poem by Khairul Ahsan

A Lighthouse

Rating: 5.0


A poet's thoughts
Are like a cruising ship on a vast ocean.
It has its own speed, own compass.
Even when it moves in the right direction
The captain looks up to the lighthouse
To guide it to the right harbour.

A poet too looks out for a lighthouse
To guide his thoughts and feelings,
To the right destination, to form a poem.
For him, this lighthouse could be
A face that inspires, a song that enchants,
A cuckoo's coo, or a fancied voice, unheard.

A poet needs inspiration to move on. Some of the 'who's or 'what's' can be this inspiration, is mentioned in the poem. Thanks for your comment, @Clarence Prince.
