Terry Miller Poet Verse

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.

Speaks Volumes March 17, 2023 at 9:48 AM 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! Terry Miller June 7, 2023 at 4:06 AM Thank you so much for your kind comments.
