Anchor

Nascent colors
  softly paint the dawn
as the first rays of the morning
sift thru the clouds.

The moon inhales
pulling the sea to her breast
    revealing her silent secrets.

A moment in time
  a moment of peace.

An anchor of stillness
before the world awakes.

    Wonderful, unforced

    The way I feel the world still feels in some places. May they continue in their unbridled peace and boredom. Amen.

    the moon inhales....wow that's such a poetic way to describe the tides
    pulling the sea to her breast..the moon is a woman...wonderful. most of us think of the moon as a man..this is very original and creative

    A very poetic way to describe the pulling of tides on the beach at the early breaking of day. I like the way it relates to the picture.
