New Moorings

I slipped loose some time ago it feels, the knot untied, cut; depending on perspective; gently pushed away to float freely, wildly, aimlessly. Some new imagined moorings hauling steady at my line; as they ever did and will. When all the rivers, far seas, oceans have been sailed upon and longings have been sated; I will weary and so yearn to tie up again, awhile, shape this berth into my shrine; 'till, new imagined moorings do haul steady at my line.

Spoken like a true sailor. I enjoyed this write Terry. I can feel the steady undulation of the boat as I read it. The journey and the anticipation of settling in new moorings is a fine completion to your poem. Very nice!
