The Lighthouse of Catatumbo refers to a point in the Caribbean where the river Catatumbo reaches Lake Maracaibo. This area is historically known for its extreme high frequency of lightning...so extreme it can be seen by sailors for miles thus helping guide them as a lighthouse would.
The Poets' Corner refers to a corner in Westminster Abbey where a number of poets and writers through English history have been buried. I do not remember where I had originally read about it, but one other characteristics I recall is how the sun shining through the Abbey's windows illuminates the corner with a pink hue...a candle to the sun of The Lighthouse of Catatumbo.
September Sailors
5.9.2016
September sailors
In the Caribbean
Use the starry night
To navigate the sea, then
Can’t believe
The lights they’re seeing
September sailors
Awestruck with hope
By the Lighthouse of Catatumbo
September sailors
Guided by the natural strobe
Reflecting off Lake Maracaibo
Illume, the lightning
They adorn her
Brighter than
The Poet’s Corner
Lightning
Night to flash of day
Guides the sailors on their way
Until tomorrow becomes today
September sailors sail away
On a course to October
By way of ‘tomorrow becomes today’
Headings and coordinates
‘Til tomorrow becomes today
