Adrift

I am adrift

I have been made so by time
and fate
and fickle women

I am drifting
on currents
sometimes swift
sometimes gentle

No course to steer
only winds
and waves
to guide me

To a place where
your arms
and your love
won't fail me
(though I may fail you)

I am
alone
and vulnerable
on this
rough-hewn deck

no compass or rudder
just a
tattered sail

I am adrift
