Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

No Anchor For Rancour - Comp

The rocks on the sea bed
Can be friendly in storms
When our sails are bedraggled
Or all tattered and torn

From our voyage on seas
Often left unexplored
But there's truth in the water
That cannot be ignored

In the wind is the Spirit
An adventurer's friend
So we move in directions
To where searching may end

There are hazards aplenty
As the salty air calls
There's that taste for adventure
But another taste galls..

We'd fare well to remember
Not all rocks help to save us
When we cast out our anchor
Catching bitterness flavours

Where the water is stagnant
And the wind but a tease
Hopeful canvas restored
Needing more than a breeze

Then it's time to resolve
Pull umbilical chain
Begin a fresh outlook
Let the rancour remain
