Lighthouse Keeping –
Seas pleat
winds keen
fogs deepen
ships lean no
doubt, and
the lighthouse
keeper keeps
a light for
those left out.
It is intimate
and remote both
for the keeper
and those afloat.

I love Kay Ryan’s work. My daughter chose a Ryan poem for her wedding ceremony. Beautiful watercolor, too.
Thank you! I’m really enjoying Ryan’s poems a lot! So happy I «found» her – .
Here’s the poem
