Lighthouse ~*140 words*~

I once shone so brightly, standing on the coast. I once stood against the storm to guide good sailors home. I once stood in sun and rain, through storms and worse. I once stood proudly against the blue sky, against the stars and the moon; yes once I stood, but now I crumble as time marches on. I stand in ruin my bravery long forgotten. The storm still roll but they take their toll now, just as the sailors sail but no longer need my light. I once shone so brightly, but now I lie in ruins forgotten against the blue sky and the night sky, sinking evermore as the storms roll in and winter winds howls. Soon nothing will remain, but for those who sailed while my light shone bright, their lives I saved once upon a stormy night.
