ANCHORED
thank you to the poems
that have showed up
offered me their companionship
over these 30 days
and 30 nights
of wandering
in the corona desert, the covidian forest,
19 leagues undersea, over novel glaciers
through terrain
unknown and shifting
thank you to the poems
for lifting me with an anchor
a next step, a task
thank you
for the poems
that have asked
to be shared
come prepared to chat
with others, in ways
far beyond my control
thank
you to every kind soul
who has taken a moment
to read the seeds iām scattering
let this smattering of symbols
become a shared plot between us
you have watered the words
(there is no greater gift)
and to you who have also
swifted your pen, pounded your keyboard,
offered us the solace of your voice
to you who made the choice
to play, i say THANK YOU
thank you poets,
thank you poems,
thank you readers.
