anchor

seeking your inner room

though you’d rather play outside

softening the light

though you’re hungry for the sun

lying down on your futon

though you long to run

on legs brown and strong

trying to be mindful

but wanting to be physical

wanting to participate

so bad

walking through the door

into dream state

imagining

your mystical twin

a sturdy scuba-diver

strong and smiling sun

while you’re standing in the surf

on your wobbly brown legs

sparkling with water diamonds

in your beach tunic

sky blue ultramarine

you’re streaming a rainbow of flowers

from the blue translucent fabric

sheer as your mind

holding a conch to your heart

so the sea will hear the beat

your mystical twin

he’s lifting you

he’s holding you

while you’re standing in the water

streaming dream flowers from your tunic

sky blue ultramarine

he’s your anchor

he says

you don’t have to be perfect 

to make something perfect

you’ve always felt you were a nereid

but how come

when you can’t even swim

he says

you don’t have to be perfect

to be perfect

going verdant

in an absent-minded moment

in your swivel chair

with your back straight

but with unfocused eyes

you're slipping through a window

shaped like a heart

gliding into the air

on your breath

imagining

you going verdant

seemingly from within

wrapped in a long voile veil

ultramarine green

growing a foliage and fruit print

in your wrap-around priestess dress

you're part of the fruiting force

of the universe bringing forth cocoa

papaya coconut pomegranate

the dream force running through your fingers

helping mango along

your green wrap is a fount ripening

food for thought

slightly creased voile wrapped unwrapped

sappy leaves sliding to the hem

bursting suns of pineapple

coffee beans rippling in your hand

from the cradle of green ongoing

unwinding stress from your bloodstream

dressing your dreams

ultramarine green patterned

with silvery leaves

gold red green thought fruit peels

back in your office

you look out of the window

in the yard there's a tree suddenly

tiny with some yellow berries

giving you a boost of confidence
