Reverse construction of a poem

First you have a feeling
Or a message
Or a thought
Then you find words
or phrases
or imagery or a metaphor
to convey said
feeling
message
or thought

Flecks of light
Brought forth from the undead sea
Grant sustenance to weary sailors
Hungry and cold
Each night, brought home
To be shaped into moonbeams
And sunrays
Starlight

How does the sailor light?
