anchors

i have climbed faraway;
up, up high in the sky,
far past the crystal air,
unable to take a breath.

i am the full moon
luminous & radiant;
you are the oceans
obscured & volatile.

coaxing in your tides,
moving you the way,
the moon lures the sea
back to sandy shores.

& this is just a whisper;
never forget that i will
forever be your anchor
drawing you back to me.
