The Blood & The Bones

I think of you
perched in disaster
standing patiently
everlasting
as I rocked the boat
and brought us to storms
I sought out
and still
you calmly rode through
steering us home
holding onto love
that I always tried
to drown
to sink
to destroy
my anchor
my harbor
I never let
myself believe
I deserved

the blood
& the bones
