Analysis of The light shines bright one wintry night.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The light shines bright one wintery night.

The sea is calling for me, and I can hear the echoes and whispers in my ear. The lighthouse shines bright through the cool winter's night. You can hear the waves smashing on the rocks. I can see its beauty untamed. I could see a ship in the fog, and a story unfolded. The sea touches my skin, and it is very cold. But when I look at the ship, it's so old and bold. But my friend who shines bright on that wintry night is never bought or sold; she's in my soul.
