Cast the Anchor

Miles from shore
Floating, drifting, not actively swimming
Hoping for more
Stopping, stalling, dramatically crawling

Past and future
Wanting no more

Miles from shore
Sinking, drowning, caught passively grounding
Hoping for more
Wishing, waiting, erratically pacing

Present unsure
Needing no more

Endless water
Floating, drifting, not actively swimming
Endless water
Not sinking
Not drowning
Not caught passively living
Endless water
Floating, drifting, not actively swimming
But not sinking
And not drowning
Not caught passively living but actively at peace and contently –
Floating
Drifting
Endlessly at sea
I could’ve never asked for more
This life for me
I never could’ve asked for more
