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.
