(untitled)

A guiding light is what I need,
a paradoxical lighthouse keeper
Towering over me, He will keep watch
under His auspices I live,
under His gaze I sweat
under His shelter I sleep
with His watchful eyes He protects me
letting the surf pound on His strength
I am inside,
but a meager flame
He is my mirror, reflecting me back to the world
Bigger
Brighter
Warmer
Better than I am alone
