Anchor

to be on this earth 

I need anchors 

to hold me in place 

so I do not float away

 my soul longs for freedom

to dance with the stars 

to sleep in the sky 

surrounded by perpetual darkness

in peace 

in calmness 

but my love is made of steel 

inflexible, unbreakable 

holding my body down 

performing its duties 

holding the responsibilities 

grounding me in this earth

but with each breath I take

 I am reminded 

am not made to wonder 

around this place 

So let love be my anchors 

weighing me down 

keeping me still 

until one by one 

they detach

 I float away
