My Anchor

 

 

When the echoes of sonic flight died down

And I woke to the faint glimmer of dawn

My only thoughts were thoughts of you

How you made all things seem as new

And the rough crags of life soft as dew

 

I am in Africa now, here my cord lies

Kept safe and sacred from prying eyes

Casting a gossamer glow across the earth

Echoing our hearts’ beat from breath to breath

Ceaseless in change from birth to death

 

Only true lovers can give testimony

To the steady drip-away of life, the agony

Of the anchor and the living rudder

That occult space and time rips asunder

So meaningless, it’s hard to surrender

 

My gift to you is a gift that binds

With your hand in mine and the sun behind

And hope ascending to grandiose peaks

The very air from our long love reeks

As I kiss the air for your dainty cheeks

This is beautiful, soft and romantic. The last stanza is absolutely splendid; adds a nice, final touch to the entire piece.
