Adrift
My boat was moored to her
An inviting harbor
Oh, my ropes were held fast
To bits upon her wharf
Life's ever-changing waves
Brought us both together
We held a loose embrace
And we stood side-by-side
Then the violent storms came
Testing bonds between us
Our ropes of love held fast
Until wind and sea calmed
But in those joining ropes
A cancer slowly grew
Some inner blight, unseen
A dark and poisoned rot
Weakened were ties that bind
From disease in their midst
The next storm was enough
To set our hearts adrift
I tried like a doctor
To mend cords between us
But the vile, dark disease
Was stronger than my cure
I begged her, my harbor
Call the Great Physician
But she'd not hear my plea,
Deaf and bitter to me
I float free now at sea
My journey lost and dark
Our bonds broken, hanging
In the icy waters
