Dead Reckoning

Lost at sea
In an ocean of me
No recollection
Of how it came to be

Fully aware of
My celestial course
Circumnavigating nothing
With impotent force

Feigning solace in
The moon's pale glow
Oblivious, adrift in
A dark undertow

The North Star beckons
A haven abates
While conscience reckons
My fate awaits
