Comment from Sally Law
This is just so beautiful, dear Aussie. I love the lighthouse analogy of Christ. I've lived near the ocean most of my life and understand the troubles at sea. The world seems to be more dark and tumultuous by the day, yet our lighthouse guides us to safety. Jesus is that lighthouse.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal :))

Hello Sally, Thanks so much for your kind review. I live close to the ocean too! The whales migrate every year for our warm waters to frolic and have their calves. Yes, Jesus is the Light of the World. So much darkness across the world; we have now the violence and murders. He is coming! Have a good weekend. Love, Kay xx
Comment from dragonpoet
This poem uses the light as a metaphor for hope and strength to fight through lifes problems, the storm. Light is also faith which supplies what you need to overcome things. It answers the club challenge well.
The lighthouse is an apt choice of artwork for this poem.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Hello Joan, Thanks so much for your kind review. You stay healthy too. Covid isn't as ramped as US and Europe. I live in Queensland and we only have 17 cases in isolation. Our state was shut down quickly, some of the borders are open but it changes daily. Take care, K xx

You are most kindly welcome. I am now fully vaccinated as is my family. So I think we are as safe as we can be now.

I really like the following sentences; "The light grew stronger.
My fear had left me..."
Life has ups and downs. When faced diversity, we need to have faith and hope. Inside every one there is always a light. Don't Give up... Things will work out.
thanks for sharing

Comment from Anne Johnston
"I ran towards it's source
Inwardly knowing He waited
Jesus is the Light of the World
Safe in His loving arms"
What a beautiful poem you have written describing how we find safety in the Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world.

I enjoyed this free verse. "Lost and alone, feeling my way/In the distance I spied a light shining", great opening that goes well with your closing lines. Thanks for sharing.

Kay,
What an excellent free verse contribution you've penned here! Oh my, I used "stumbling" in my contribution as well. Hope I'm not a copycat.
I really enjoyed your strong imagery in this. More importantly, your spiritual message that was expressed clearly and poetically.
Personally, I would drop a 2 or more "and" s in it...just to let the ideas expressed flow more freely. After looking again, I'd drop several "the" s. That's my two cents.
I also enjoyed your alliteration throughout this well penned piece.

Happy Easter Kay!
Yeah...I just like the minimalist thing with free verse, but each has their own style. Hey, at least you are 2 cents richer?

Dis old bird she no worry about da piddling moola. Dis old bird she be a 'Sensitive' you be looking dat up on google please.

I live it.
No need to look it up.

I don't use Google.
Evil enemy of mankind.
I use swisscows or Qwant...probably all evil ..some are somewhat less. censored. Walt Witman used the term world wide web all those years ago. Prophetic...he was.
-
Piddling...yeah...then I relate. My last poem called "Boring" a satire title and my real thoughts on rhyme was a one night wonder and fizzled out because I probably kissed off a lot of the lovers of rhyme and I don't give a dime!
-
So you are a sensitive, yes? Actually means we are psychic.
-
Hey, settle down now. I write rhyme because I love it. You are not here to prove yourself, you are unique and write how you want. Just because you don't agree with me, I on the other hand don't agree with you. I see you as a child twisting a kerchief because you can't get your own way. Must fly now. K XX

I love your line "Jesus is the Light of the World", for He truly is. Your words take the reader into a storm and then into the light of Jesus. This is an excellent faith based poem that the reader can relate to.

I loved the picture, Kace. A lighthouse always reminds me that a light is shining even through the darkness and rain, as if God is glowing with warmth and understanding. Well done.

Jesus said, I am the Light of the World. I stood in Sr Paul's Cathedral in London and saw the original painting of Christ holding a lantern. He says to us "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice and invite me in. I will sup with him and he with me. K xx
-
That was great about you being at St Paul's Cathedral, very profound words. You are most welcome Kace.
-
I visited many churches when touring England and Scotland. I think He gave me a credit card to heaven! Love, K.

That was so cute, I am so glad you enjoyed touring the Isles.
