The chains of the known routine can be so comforting sometimes...It is hard to choose to break free of them, MEDEAR.

Well, I had to go look up orlop. Learn something every day. I hope never to have to climb from an orlop to a wheelhouse. That would mean I was on the water again. Please, I want to be a landlubber so I never get seasick again.

How Chilling... the chains that bind can be... very cool images here in this powerful poem.

And I learned a new word "Orlop", fascinating.

Sammy this is wonderful. I love the images and their implications. and also the way in which you use everyday words... to elicit complicated meanings. Great work sweetie... I do hope you are feeling all better. Love you much xoxo

I am a person who was so use to structure that I kept myself bound to the house, I knew each day I had to get up for work, not now.

SO FANTASTIC
I think is is one of my favorites so far. Keeping oneself bound, while freedom is right there within reach....our emotions and fears can keep us shackled forever. excellent work, sammie....xxoo
