The sun rises in the distance
Cascading over the open ocean
Until the rippling waves
Shatter the golden light
Into a million glittering pieces
And scatter them all across
The surface of the water

When night stretches over the sky
I ascend the lighthouse's steps
And shine its column of light
On the crashing waves below
Trying to recreate the phenomenon
That happens every new morning
But it just isn't the same

Before I know it, dusk has arrived
And I must switch off the light
I can always try again tomorrow night
And I will keep on trying
Until I successfully reproduce the magic
Performed by the rising sun

But for now all I can do
Is walk down the lighthouse's steps
And watch the spectacle happen once more
Just a silly little thing I wrote last night. I was originally going to use this title for a more serious piece but that never came to fruition.
