The Unseen Anchor “Even in silence, steadfastness shapes life’s every course.” The tide pulls hard against the rusted pier, Dragging the salt-crust shadows toward the deep. Below the surface, something holds its breath, An unseen anchor humming in the sleep of stone. It does not fight the current's frantic pull, But gathers weight from all the silence kept. Each memory it bears is knotted tight with years, Holding fast what drifted, though the world has leapt. Above, the white-caps chase a ghost of foam, While deep in silt, the iron finds its home. No eye can see the steadfast pulse below, Yet every wave submits to what it cannot know. The storm may scream its hollow, frantic pride, But cannot break the strength that chooses to abide. In its shadow, drifting things find sudden pause, And even lost ships whisper thanks without a cause. It is the silent vow beneath the swell, The secret strength that words can never tell. Forever moored where unseen currents bend, An anchor holds, beginning where we end.

The Unseen Anchor
The dry leaves are shaken off by the wind The wind softly whispered in the tired of the dizzy climate The land regenerates willingly on the animals that inhabit it The leaves are ready and willing to be eaten by insects, worms and slugs Trees that soar high reaching the sky have been tested by various storms as if they are still strong even though they are old but still protect every habitat below them His organs seemed willing to die and regenerate because that was the sacrifice of his life When the harvest season arrives, it's not uncommon for him to be ****** or his branches deliberately broken to get something, but he still reciprocates by giving the fruits he produces. His sacrifice will still not be in vain and while expressing gratitude to the Creator for what has been given He is the only one who lives in that area Others have died to life, or have even been cut down by humans in the name of civilization He is still a tree and will never turn into an animal But with gratitude and reverence for his environment he is willing to stay silent and only move upwards to welcome the sunlight
