Guessing what the future will bring and how well I can adapt to changes... what if I can't multi-task?

Flooded gates Of years gone past Have left a score Of those aghast In
harbor shores I trim my sail But I decide I cannot whale 

I cannot go The ocean vast Of many seas We may not last Ahead and lee
Direct my path Move forward hence And not look back 

Again I try To bear the deck But seas oppose About my neck Have taken
breath And life from me And cast it to a lifeless sea 

And whose domain Will never roar But quiet then And hear no more 

A litany Of streaming years Will never quench The crowd that jeers But
time will come When oceans take The sea of us And will forsake
