New Moorings

Moorings anew are easy as thought, Vessels tethered, fixed as weather, By an anchor, a person, or an idea, Sure to shore up evidence of defense, of itself. With every wave, memory fades soft as morning fog, Providing wet hiding and reinforcing ties, Binding us together, on shores of security, Like seamen seining a weir of our own making. Forgetting respawns our willingness, To be encircled again, within a radius of safety, Ropes with a constricting reach, endless limitations, As far away as the unmovable horizon in view. Then we float into the final harbor, Less grounded, ethereal anchorage more stable, Rites of arrival unknown, moored in others still, Slipping in, your past adrift, reborn under a new gable.
