Lighthouse For Sale

With the advent of electroinics in navigagion many of the charming lighthouses that dot our Atlantic coast are becoming obsolete and yes either being torn down, turned into museums or sold to private owners.
Dedicated to a special lady who loves seashores and lighthouses...x


 

 

 

 

Lighthouse For Sale

There’s a lighthouse for sale in Nova Scotia

Its’ light was always a comforting sight

On the shores the Atlantic keeps breaking

Sadly, not so, for that faithful old light

 

Beside the lighthouse is a caretaker’s cabin

Nothing fancy, just a place to call home

Far from the hustle and bustle of cities

A haven, from where you won't need to roam

 

Here lovers can stroll on starlit evenings

Watch whales frolicking out on the bay

Get up early to watch a scarlet sunrise

Hand in hand to begin each new day

 

There’s a lighthouse for sale in Nova Scotia

If you hurry, you can make it tonight

Listen, can you hear it calling your name

You’ll find it, if you follow the light…

I want to live there...I wish I could buy it...and it is all due to your beautiful poem....thank you so much for sharing this poem.

Reviewed by Roger Wayne Eberle 6/10/2012
Lighthouses are much more than merely romantic landmarks like your poem seems to suggest... sad to think mercantilism or merely mercenary motives should play so large a part in so luminescent a legacy... but then again, it seems anything, absolutely anything can be bought and sold in this increasingly pecuniary (pronounce picayune!) age...

...capable verse... notably discharged...

Felix,
Thanks I have always loved lighthouses, I rather see one sold and then maintained by someone who cherishes it than to see them fade like oyher things have.

This is enchanting, simply enchanting. There is a lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior that was the inspiration for my nephew's marriage.

Sounds a perfect idyll for lovers with no need to earn an income, Felix! :)) Selling these heart-warming landmarks and beacons of security is indeed a sorry state of affairs but perhaps the soul also left them a little when they became automated instead of man-powered. Can just picture you as lighthouse keeper somehow... seems fitting and a true picture of the man you are. Perhaps we should have a whip round and get you one! :)) xx

there's two lighthouses on Long Island ... one at Fire Island the other at Montauk ... they also have a profound historic influence and are still used ... thankfully, they are landmarks and the government protects them from privatization ... i just hope the new owners of the Nova Scotia lighthouse maintain the lighthouse and keep it functioning ...
the soul of your poem is deep and is a beacon for the towering beams protecting ships and keeping them on course ...

Lighthouses are beautiful and each one is unique...they should make them landmarks. As always, Fee, an interesting write!

Always,

There is such a fascination with lighthouses, I was just watching a program a few days ago on one in Two Harbors, Minnesota, they made the first 2 floors a B&B, kept it just like in the olden days, a place to watch the ships, no whales though :(

‘Under a mariner’s guiding light and Lake Superior’s waves gently or fiercely coming ashore, bask in the historic flavor of this turn of the century home’

Love this poem Fee!
