Carry Me
Find me
Carry me forward
that I may carry you also
In my frailty
Wrap your body round me
as I wrap you in mine
I need an ally beyond
this modern discontent
A feeling state from past-time
An arena where hand held mine
And tender hearts beat beat
Nudging you and I
out to face the rest of them
I lie
Warm and comforted
Cold and terrified
Displaced and unaware
of the nearness of your thoughts
Make it easy for me
In this social disenchantment
Make it more than an educated hope
that you still remember
The time I carried you home
