The Anchor

deep roots hold 
      a quiet strength
            old tree
                  firmly planted 
                        the boughs reach for lights
                              fruits will f
                                               a
                                                l
                                                l 
                                    seeds stir

life begins
      they grow 
            through the years
                  breath by breath 
                        stronger than before
                              a story told in skin 
                               o   n   e...

heart beats in the dark.
