Dead In the Water

Don't know if any man,
flawed and sorry as we can only be.
Can meet the expectations of a woman,
who can truly see.
That word love,
the ultimate mystery,
must be the salvation and the key.
If both hearts aren't receptive,
and healed from transgressions of the past,
no chance for the strong winds of love,
to fill the sails on the mast.
The vessel of two,
now dead in the water,
direction lost.
Both thinking they will rescued,
by others, only by luck will be certainty.
Not realizing, rowing together,
they can tame the sea.
