Life's Boat

Escaping life
And it's pains at last
Sailing away
And trying fast

Too much has happened now
Too much too fast
Enough to question
The dead-end past

I know the truth
Of life's ripped mast
Leaving port
It feels times wrath

To tread new cotton
For life's new mast
Will take time
There's been a painful past

Erasing time
Removing the cast
Opening a new horizon
For life's new mast.
