Anchor Light
What can I say about the way life plays, it dances to its own crazy tune
scattering memories like swatches of color on rainy afternoons
time passes to fast, from first to last, the end it comes too soon
so live a lifetime of memories with me, break free of that cocoon…
I’ll show you where the echoes hide, where dreams are born in flight
and take you to the sunsets rim so you can greet the night…
… I’ll be your guide, if you need one, your shoulder and anchor light
if you’ll just for a moment follow me
and taste in my delights…
It doesn’t matter if there’s been regret, I choose to forget and get
along with life ‘cos in the end … who knows how much time is left
or how much we get, to get on with living this dream…
so forget all those worries that harass and complain
put away the fear and grief and put away the pain, let’s run through April showers in June
and dance across the moon…
‘cos for one crowded hour, you are the only one in the room
Have you ever seen the stars so bright they surely ignite
romance in Cupid’s wings, or ever heard the spoken word
the way Delilah sings?
I’d hold your dreams in my honest grasp and tend them by the hour
if you’ll but dance a dance with me in scented April showers…
… I have a thing for simple things, coffee on mornings where the whip-bird sings
hands that like to hold to hands, and laughter that travels across wild lands
to find that place where echoes hide and dreams are born in flight…
put away the fear and grief and put away the pain, let’s run through April showers
in June
and dance across the moon…
‘cos for one crowded hour, an hour in each day… you’re the only one in the room.

Feed Your Soul & Free Your Spirit 
i like the being willing to set aside all else to have that one crowded hours of only them being in the room…ha there is a cool contrast in that…and its a love filled voice that this is written with
Smiling here… the soul loves and loves flows into poetry… but as a woman love has not entered my life in many many years. Nice to know I haven’t lost touch with the essence of love.
Thank you Brian.
As someone who loves to have a prompt to write to, be it a single word, or a phrase, I really appreciate this. What a beautiful prompt you used, and did an honour to. I really loved this. “Stars ignite romance on Cupids wings’ – wow, fantastic. So many lovely images in this – thank you. – Vivienne, of OneVoicePoetry.
Hello vivchook … I to love a good prompts challenge and when I find myself uninspired I randomly choose my own prompts Chuckling.
Thank you so much for visiting and lingering with my thoughts..
Beautiful writing. I definitely agree with the idea of living beyond regret and getting on with life, as we really don’t know how many hours or days we have left. We have to dance through each day we have. I enjoyed the message in your poem.
Many warm thanks Mary… I see so many people lose precious time in anger, regret and chaos when there is so much warmth and beauty to experience.
Such a lovely and uplifting message ~ I feel the caring words of a close friend or a loved one ~
Thank you Grace… a pleasure to share with you. In this chaotic world it helps to reach out and connect.
that one hour is precious ~
Indeed so… we just have to have the courage to seize it and live.
Thank you for stopping by.
Better to have regrets that not to have lived I think.
“I have a thing for simple things, coffee on mornings where the whip-bird sings / hands that like to hold to hands, and laughter that travels across wild lands / to find that place where echoes hide and dreams are born in flight…” – these are just beautiful lines.
My thanks Gabriella… a pleasure to share.

The simple things… birdsong… summer rain… a winter fire… really do help to soothe & feed the soul, I agree.
