It hasn't been an easy time health wise at the end of 2024 so I decided to start each day of November positively with a painting of a Lighthouse and a poem about hope. You can find all of the poems below and some of the paintings, with a link to the whole set of lighthouses; which makes this a great place to hang out if life is feeling hard.
Even in dark times there is hope to be found shining bright.
Beacon in the night
Piercing through shadows of doubt
Hope’s light guides me home
Guiding light of love
Banishing portents of fear
Hope on brightest beams
In darkness you shine
Steadfast guide harbouring hope
Fear fades in your glow
Elegy for the Lighthouse
In the hush of night’s embrace
You stand resolute,
a banisher of shadows
Casting beams of light over restless waters
A sower of solace in caverns of chaos
How many souls have you saved
No longer lost within despair?
Your glow reached through darkness
A tender promise in a yellow flare.
When thunder crashed with fury
And waves battered the shore
You shone your lantern brightly
Watchful eye in the gathering storm.
So much more than brick and glass
You are a promise on fearful nights
Never abandoning your post
A flicker of hope shining bright
In the dark of night where shadows creep
The lighthouse stands firm against despair
It's beam slicing through the misty deep
A guide for those who wander where they dare
Waves crash like knives on rocky shores
As beams break the silence with utmost grace
Hope rides the light, we fear no more
The depths of despair flee from this place.
Every arc offers love, hopes rise anew
An echo of calm in a stormy sea
"You were not lost, though your fears grew
Keep sailing on, your eyes on me"
So cling to this hope, whatever your strife
For even in darkness, light guides your life.
Ode to a Lighthouse
In the muted mist of night
Where shadows stretch and reflections grope
You stand steadfast and straight
A powerful promise, a tower of hope.
Your beam a constant through dark nights of the soul
Slicing fearful observations relaxingly
Each sweep a hymn echoing in the silence
A balm for tumultuous torment at sea.
Oh luminous lens on unknown shores
You guide lost souls from on high
Weary travellers searching for solace
Find their way thanks to your watchful eye.
Your flicker is more than a warning, it is hope
Each blink a reminder that even impossible voyages will end
As you light a path in brilliance where we saw only fear
Your invitation to linger lives long my friend.
Teach me to be that lantern bright
Offering shelter in the gathering storm
To share the hope of dawn on long dark nights
Providing peace for the fearful and forlorn.
Ancient Lighthouses
Rescue soulful intentions
Fear lost in shadows
Amidst chaos stands a steadfast light
Source of hope piercing swirling storms
Beams cut straight through shadows of night
Replacing anxious thoughts as loves reforms
My faith is a lighthouse in my life
Reminding me that I am never alone
God is with me always
Shining a light of hope wherever I roam
I hope you can find moments of joy today to feel the peace, love and hope of God.

In the midst of chaos is a beacon of light

Lighthouse sentinel
As storms howl roaring with fear
Hope's guiding lantern
...
Port within the storm
Safe harbour from raging seas
Flicker of solace

Wave washed stones whisper
In darkness a beacon shines
Promising safety
...
Storm clouds break the sky
Yet hopeful beams pierce through
Hearts find their anchor

When darkness seems deep and confounding
It's glow is the faith that's resounding
A port for our dreams

In the dark the lighthouse still stands tall
A beacon shining bright against despair
Guiding weary souls who fear it all
Waves roar meeting the ocean’s call
Then through the fierce rage a whispered prayer
Follow the lighthouse standing tall
Hope flickers like a flame behind its wall
A promise wrapped in light for those who share
Guiding weary souls who fear it all
When thunder cracks and fears start to call
Its beam will chase away that heavy song
In the dark the lighthouse still stands tall
To sailors lost where nothing calls at all
A beacon shining bright against despair
Guiding weary souls who fear it all
So if you’re lost amid life’s stormy wall
Remember love resides in light’s soft flare
In the dark the lighthouse still stands tall
Guiding weary souls who fear it all
...
Beacon through the night
Waves crash and shadows extend
Safe harbour in sight
...
Lighthouse in the storm
Guiding lost souls to safe shores
Light welcomes with hope
...
In the heart of the storm's fierce roar
A lighthouse stands tall on the shore
With its beam slicing night
It turns darkness to light
Guiding sailors back home evermore
...
When the waves crash and winds howl their name
Lanterns flicker bright through the rain
Each blink says “stay near,”
“Find solace right here”
A promise that hope will sustain
...
Let storms rage and skies turn to grey
For this lighthouse will show you your way
In shadows it gleams
A harbour for dreams
Safe port from the storm's wild ballet
...
In the wildest roar shadows scream
Yet the lighthouse casts it's nightly beam
A steadfast glow throughout the night
Guiding souls lost in their fright
Hope’s whisper wakes from the dream
...
Through thunder that trembles the shore
It guards with each shimmering chore
Waves crash and winds wail
Yet hearts find their trail
A port where you are not ignored
...
Let this lighthouse proclaim evermore
From storm's wild embrace you'll restore
For even in fear
The light will appear
Home waits beyond each troubled shore.
...
A lighthouse stands tall, brave and bright
Guiding lost souls through the night
With its beacon in hand
It guides you to land
You'll be safe following this light
...
In storms that roar with fierce might
Hope flickers like stars taking flight
As waves crash around
And fears do abound
The lighthouse brings safety at night
