"YOUR LOVE IS GONE"

With your love gone,
What am I but a small wooden boat
adrift in a large ocean
with the waves lapping at my hull.

No way seems to be North,
as all I can see are small white crests,
dotting the waters to the horizon.

The gentle roar of the wind
and ocean's spray
are the companions I have with me
in this vast and isotropic frontier.

(To consider: knock out the word "as" and put the word "only" before companions?)
