rowboat

trapped in a dream

or a dream of a dream

stuck in a boat

rowing perpetually downstream

slowly but surely

gently and merrily

drifting parallel to the shore

nothing will ever be the same as before

arms are sore 

from rowing rowing rowing

and at times hoping hoping hoping...

for something else, something more

than to be stuck 

in a sinking boat floating downstream

and life is but a dream

and nothing is what it seems
