The direction of my life <br />An empty binnacle <br />Head strong and heading nowhere fast <br />Stubborn like a windblown mast <br />In a maelstrom of scattered thought <br /> <br />Fair ye well, I fair not <br />Tumult and chaos in endless bound <br />Tossed and torn asunder, I am <br />On this wave less drift aground <br />To sail a path I have not found <br /> <br />From the crow’s nest, view <br />My hopes all drown <br />Beyond the arc of the horizon <br />Sets life’s frown <br />There lies the compass of my life<br /><br />Marcus McKinley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adrift-on-a-sand-bar/
