This poem is so beautifully relevant in today's times when most have become so material. Asides from chasing accomplishments, we envy others for the stuff they have and forget to count our loved ones as our biggest blessings. Your words always bring us to great realizations, dear Chris. Thanks for sharing such positivity today.

We sadly do live in a materialistic world while many have nothing. Relationships with those we love, all important. Have a good day

True words, dear Miss.. What can you do, everyone is just trying to get by, with their peculiarities.. When we are never satisfied, we keep going far and wide for our purposes, and may just not care to hold those arms longing to reach us, would rather hold the lost treasures instead.. Unless, we learn to acknowledge the valuable treasures which are connections, but then.. It gets too late. All in a quest to strengthen the anchor's hold, harbour safe or not.. In a way, maybe the anchor is the prime treasure in a world of survival and ocean..

firm anchor .. and safe harbor ... pretty rare find in the world .. as nothing in it is made to last ;) if we cling to any of the mentioned "addictions" we are disappointed ... i think the thing we really want is Heaven ... its just we are looking for it in the wrong places .. we can't cling to anything in this corporal world and enter Heaven .. peace and joy my friend!

I think everyone is searching for a little bit of Heaven. Some people find it here on earth, others don't. Hope you are keeping well my friend. All good wishes from this side of the pond.
Finding that person who gives you solace and passion, unconditional love is a once in a lifetime so many cling to things that aren’t relevant but in any case give comfort.
Love the openness of thought out into this poem. Very relatable and the sentiment of need for one thing or another is clearly present,

Chris, this poem speaks to me. It’s a good piece of writing that captures me in a beautiful way. Retired from work for almost three years. I have decided to go back to my roots (Great Falls, Montana) I’m a military brat and have moved around the United States never staying put in one place more than a few years at a time. But the places I have lived where just a few places of which seemed at the time for a youngster to be many moves. Until Sunny Southern California came to light and my home base. Now I’m ready to settle down into a slower pace of life and enjoy the soil of roots of birth. I was only eight when when we moved from Great Falls. Never knowing or feeling the treasures of truly being satisfied. I’m now ready to be anchored in and enjoy that treasure of my roots. This is what your beautiful poem has reminded me of.

It was interesting to hear about your travels and how at long last you have found your harbour in retirement. I wish you much peace and happiness from across the pond. Pleased to find you here on WC.
When we run for material contentment then this pleasure ends as soon as we achieve it. Then another run begins and so on.... But the internal void runs through it thoroughly and in this process we seem to ignore the real essence of life, which is not money, nor recognition nor a stature... But some loving heart around us. And this love and safe abode can give that ultimate anchoring... A very beautiful piece of writing this is..
