Anchoring Spikes

Feeling cool

In my hand

Grasping it

More tightly

A heavy piece

Of steel

Immediately sending

Jolting energy

Through my system

This visual

Bringing out

What I clearly

Feel inside

A day

A week

A month

A year

A lifetime

Of tumultuous living

Clearly seeing

Experiencing firsthand

The calming

Of my

Internal water

Standing on

The tracks

Gazing upon

The large

Steel pin

Desiring to

Have a place

In my life

Securely driven

In the earth

Deep anchoring love

A place

To call home

Coming home

Not to be

Tethered down

Unable to

Fully fly

Wanting to have

Permanent tracks

Living daily

Like the train

I am

Roaming freely

Exploring the

Gorgeous earth

Her exquisite occupants

Releasing the

Real me

Allowing the

Echoes of

Eternities Love

Flowing from within
