Sailing Aimlessly

Light raft  floating 
                        drifting for a breeze
              Sailing aimlessly 
        Going into nothingness 
                        Yet drifting on a bed of certainty 

                    Am I a  harbouring passenger
              OR a willing vessel
                             bobbing hither and tither
                   with the confidence of the waves

                 Whether willing or by direction
                       I steeped the ocean's floor
                Whether I was cleaning or just sweeping
                        I traversed the carpets shore

                  Where was my comfort to be sought 
                                  OR my intimacy to be dreamt 
      For where have you seen a twig with dreams 
                     OR the blazing glory of a shoot

                                        There's no compass for relief
                                Only certitude was certainty,
                      The assured conviction 
        That truth is fact!
