Life Spent All Alone

My comfort plundered in a hurricane with umbrella spun off fortified walls. a reckless lifeboat in crossroads switched lane, tattered sail harbored as wailing shore calls. An empty wooden boat with holes can't drift rusty cleats grounded by chains can't paddle an anchored dreamboat can't stream as tides shift. sinking in quicksand, ... can't fight a battle. An inert heart in night of solitude glam of stars in blue sky decomposes to restart life, and sail in hopes renewed waits all seasons for rainbows and roses. breaking off knots, my boat yearns to return to waterways,........ before death fills its urn.
