Vessels in Rewind

Caught in rewind

Like a ship dragged downstream,

Fighting and wailing

For what it just can't seem

To accomplish with strength,

Mere will power's crutch.

It's as if its caught in slow motion

And the waters are only speeding up;

It's lost, sailing backwards

And away from its cause,

Retreating, resigning-

An effort now gone.

Time rises to reclaim Glory's

Mast and broad deck;

Its greatness is now fading

Into a forsaken wreck.
