adrift

I should know better than to wonder
today I caught myself wondering what I will do
if Soon fails to find us
I am living in limbo, on the charity
of family, holding to a dream
a phantom course plotted by some
mischievous god
while I hope for better, I have yet
nothing to show for it,
not even the wind in my face

Are we moving towards a goal,
a destination,
some semblance
of a reality?

or are we drifting, becalmed
in the torpid patterns of this trackless
time
only barely able to see
the faintest gleam of home in the distance
and then only if the light is right?

I shouldn't question
it only scars my hope
