*April 22, 2003
Worn to pieces, broken down dreams, struggling to focus, torn at the seams. Drifting in circles, blown from behind, rudder gone wild, renting sail binds. Directions changing, as the wind blows, current tugging, as unsurety grows. Jagged rocks surface, as time circles round, no beacon of light, with which to be found. This life's boat, creaks ever more, as time passes, further from shore. Worn to pieces, broken down dreams, struggling to focus, torn at the seams. Wooden sides decaying, rudder now gone, sail ever tattered, the ocean's pawn. Falling into pieces, breaking up fast, slipping down gently, to the top of the mast.
