Connections

Cassie58

some have found their silver 

though others search for gold 

some are hooked on passion 

afraid they’ll end up cold 

 

and some are never satisfied 

with a fear of growing old 

yet most are quite content it seems 

to find an anchor’s solid hold

in the safety of a harbour 

 

now surely that is priceless 

those arms that long to love you 

far better than lost treasure 

more valuable than gold

    I see a romance between sea and land fabulous. Metaphor full of wisdom, I'd choose a solid place on a harbour rather than gold any day. 🌹

      Thank you Teddy. Have a lovely Tuesday. 🌺

      I've got a thing about harbours too Cassie and the safety they afford ..

      Connections is an excellent poem for several reasons .. and it sits pretty as well, simply crying out to be read .. Neville

        Many thanks Neville. Happy sunny Tuesday.

        The whole piece pivots around that central stanza, and right in the centre of that is 'content' which just nails it.
        Nails me too - because I am.
        So well told, Cassie.
