I saw it flashing bright
on a cold night,
lighting the sites beneath
looming over shops
brightly lighting cops.
Climbing up the tower
on any hour
is like climbing on top of the world
and it is like any other story being told
scary at first,
like fighting a curse.
Climbing higher, fear is showing
until the view is sighted
then the fear has flighted
and the beauty of the tower
Is the most precious power.
