Lady Moon is a cruel mistress
Casting me adrift in a vessel full of woe
Mapless
Rudderless
Just stars for navigation
Compassless
Comfortless
Which way should I go?

Lady Moon orchestrates my distress
Brooding up a storm on a temperamental sea
Harbourless
Shelterless
I’ve a shipload of emotion
Ropeless
Hopeless
What will become of me?

Lady Moon celebrates my anguish
Churning through the spume fuelled tides that drag me down
Breathless
Sightless
Engulfed in trepidation
Senseless
Lifeless
What can I do but drown?

Lady Moon at last begins to languish
Wearying of her sport she grants me my release
Day breaks
Calm wakes
Crimson seeps through the horizon
Shore bound
Peace found
I float home aboard relief.
