In the same boat….

It’s funny how a few words sets one to thinking….  "… we’re in the same boat"

You and I
in a boat together
set sail on the open sea

No course to chart
No port of call
What ever will be will be

When out of nothing
a strong gale comes
tosses us in the drink

I look at you
you look at me
and then we start to sink
 

But not the boat
it drifts away
and leaves  us stranded cold
 

I reach for you
You reach for me
Each other we tightly hold

Our watery grave
surrounds us huge
nothing else within vision
 

Life in hands
we now must make
a critical decision

Should I let go
Will you let go
will we go down together
 

A promise made
so long ago
through good and stormy weather

Then suddenly
a boat appears
rescue seems so certain

"wake up you fool
You fell asleep"
You say as you open the curtain

I did it again
fell asleep in the tub
my dream it  never ended

A sinking question
deep in my mind
the answer forever suspened.
