Carol Mitra Poet Haibun

The Anchored Sun

I love to sit in front of the sea, attuned to its mighty
roars and the way it tirelessly kisses the shore. 
Especially beautiful when the sun is setting 
on the horizon as if releasing all of its tiredness 
of holding the light of the day into the cool waters
An orange ball disappearing and rising again 
in the arms of a new day!

                  My thoughts surf on waves
                             As the sun drops her anchor
                                               And says her goodbyes 

                     Rising on show lines
                                  Into the waves of the sky
                                                        Feeling a sea rave
