Prompt: Lighthouse

Alternative Title:

Guide

A beacon of light,
a turbulent sea.
A guide to make right,
for the dangers that be.

Celestia's gift to the navy,
from when Luna went dark.
The strength to sail bravely,
even without a seamark.

Ocean Roar closed his notebook, magical aura setting aside his quill pen, wondering if he would ever truly come up with a poem he could be proud of. Maybe he would do better next time. This time, he could only hope that it wouldn't inadvertantly offend the Princess of the Night if he were to let this entry become public one day.
