Carry
me weary
to the
boat
my friend
and then
ferry me
true
to the
other side,
empty my
pockets
of hoard
and greed.
that at
times made
me petty
and blind.
sing me
my story
anthem.
pay the
Ferryman
his due.
bleed me
out of
sin and
doubt.
color me
the pauper
the lion
the father
the husband
all true.
stay with
me awhile,
then release
my tired
and fragile
bones
to dust.
and let
me
forever
hold
your
smile.
dear.
