i am shadow
   darkmess
      death
         the sleep
that severs
    spirit from body
      
The river crossed
What will you pay the ferryman?

Youth
   the faded wilted rose

Beauty
  drains like wine
    from the shattered crystal chalice

Thorns no longer pierce
Bones to rotten wood
Blood to sea-water
Flesh merely sandy clay
Inspired by Toad the Wet Sprocket - Walk on the Ocean
