doorway to the sea
dyrhólaey light aglow
iceland’s southern guide

in murky marshlands
gators grin, birds take their stand
hello, mud and land

where the tide is low
on a lovely winter’s day
a sense of peace reigns

in purple-pink hues
sunset’s brush of brilliance glows
embracing twilight

built only to serve
not just stone, metal and glass
angel of the coast

turning of the light
night sky above, sun below
the lighthouse endures

high above the ground
a window and feathered nest
facing sky and sea

where ocean bay meets
alligators and egrets
dragonflies buzz by
