Light guides the Way

There is something about light houses that calls to me.
I dream of living in one when I need time alone.
Can you imagine taking a pile of books, some good nibbles and tea,
a comfy quilt, pillows and just hiding away for a time?
Light draws us in.
We look at the moon and we smile.
When spring time comes along we revel in having more light and color.
I have always wanted to take a light house tour of the east coast,
because I thought that was where the best lighthouses resided.
Recently, just this year, I have visited three on the west coast that delighted me.
They still send out their warning of a shore nearby to ships going by.
But in the meantime they sit in sweet, quiet splendor showing us the way.

Do you dream of time away?
Would it be in a lighthouse?

Each lighthouse is on the coast of Oregon.
The first is just north of Oceanside,
the second at Port Townsend,
and the third on Whidbey Island.
