Friendship’s
Beacon
The lighthouse standing
firmly on the reef,
Whose steadfast beacon
brightens Neptune’s mist,
Affords the sightless mariner
relief,
As one who has, through
distance, friendship missed,
Unmindful whether infinite or
brief.
John Polselli’s poetry has
been published in many literary journals and is the recipient of several

A friend is that lighthouse! I have enjoyed this piece with its use of metaphorical language.
