Anchor Poems

acrostic triplet : sea

sea is turbulently stormy this darkened night

eyes watch in awe, wonder and fright

anchor secured holds passenger ship tight ~

Earth Star Chakra

earth star chakra my killick, subliminal subpersonal connects me to core of planet’s centre, spinning yet rooted in quiet mirth
absorbing misaligned energy in sturdy girth
intuits heartfelt frequency exchanges 
across planetary consciousness gauges
below Gaia’s benign surfaces it modulates
where own wisdomed faith undulates 
steady Will humming stable solid secure 
no other anchor would I endure

awareness finely tuned

I never chose the burden
but life pressed stone and rope into my hands.
I lowered it into the unsettled sea,
and waited for balance to return.
The sea murmurs of leaving,
of slipping past every safe haven,
yet I stay, steady on hidden weight
gripped by the understated

He moves freely

Copying the success tale of myth
He moved ahead to the orphan green
A vast forest of fast opportunity
Display was of lovely frames
A sound of track with hustling cracks
He relied on relief of hacks
A cozy kinder of lightning trail
He chose one precious gift alright! 

The talks begin to amplify
The words became the works over night
A close choice

This Navigator's Mainstay

...it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge 
would have strong encouragement to hold firmly 
to the hope set before us."
Hebrews 6:18

Family fortified me with support
to stay on top while testing the waters’ depth.
expectations, events, even "enemies"
were the wind and weight beneath my wings.
Worthy teachers buoyed me up with truth
communicating skill

KILLICK

KILLICK 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am but a tiny boat, 
one built from dreams and fears,
adrift on a sea of choices. 
Yet, there you are—my killick, the heavy stone
that burrows deep into the sand,
keeping my boat afloat
in the face of the swell of uncertainty
and the pull of the tides.  

Every crashing wave, every brewing storm
reminds me of

Lacking an Anchor

A drift in a sea of longing,
rudderless and without direction.
Trying to stay afloat 
amidst the relentless winds and currents
whipping the crests into a frenzy.
At the mercy of the nautical tempest,
in a fruitless battle to maintain control,
I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor
that was my refuge from this upheaval
brought on by the forced solitude
when you left

Monocrostic (Birthday of Richard Q. Vergara)

Anchor of the universe

All that which is manifest
As also all that which is not 
All realms, all domains
The pivot, the heart with love thawed
The heart of Self, the heart of God

Stillness transcending the three states
Awareness equalising the gunas
Bilocation of consciousness 
That we be immanent and transcendent 
The immortal Self is bliss resplendent

Monocrostic (Birthday of Rose O. Villafranca)

Anchor of Stone

Cradle the weight between my shoulders.
Heavy thoughts anchor down the nomadic mind.
Tired and weary from the constant battle.
Chewing on words from a forgotten rhyme.
On my knees in a steady rain.
Left with shards of a vision torn.
Walking over cobblestone broken and gray.
The streetlights hang their heads to mourn.
Valkyries have long abandoned this field.
There are no angels

Anchor My Soul

I try to move the ship but enough water was not in the ditch
The water kept rising and falling and sometimes it feels as if my
Sprit is drowning; there are several avenues around me and all of them lead to the sea and that is where I will get the victory.

You have to fight on

The Anchor of my soul

I anchor my soul in the middle of the sea
And big ships come chasing after me
It is the place where you don’t want to be
when big waves are riding on the sea and
You are boxed into the four corners of the earth
And the universe is slowly drifting away from you

Awake from your slumber 
oh dying

Shared Anchor

Like roots of one tree,
Hearts entwined, storms cannot shake,
Strong, deep, and ever.
