Safe Distance

The lighthouse was planted with its roots

Close enough to the faint smell of the salty water

Yet, keeping a safe distance from the its vicious waves.

And much like the lighthouse,

Not even my shadow dares to

Dance past the line

Between the calming shore

And the mysterious sea.
