Anchors Aweigh

Hidden in watery depths

the anchor hides

it's now the home

of starfish and sharks

but no one knows

the glory days are over

humbled by the weight of water

it waits

hoping, wishing - 

even praying to Poseidon

to send a majestic vessel

to once again

yank its chain.

A wonderful story weaved. You gave life to the artwork. Lonely is the tool, that had no purpose. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Even anchors dream of freedom and free of burden. What a lovely thought.
In the fourth line Is it supposed to be sea stars ( star fish ) ?

indeed! My "gushing waterfall" style missed that one :)
That's the cool thing about being human....we can allocate emotion to just about anything :)
