Who will place two coins on my eyes
Down the river Styx
My soul will glide
Two coins for the boatman
Ferry me away
To the throne of Persephone
Snatched from light of day
Two coins I cry
Two coins for my eyes
Through dark waters I float
To where my body must lie
Two coins for Charon
That looks away
Never seeing my face
Or the light of day
Two coins

Very interesting poem. Not knowing much mythology I looked up Charon and the river of Styx. Wonderful trip into a different realm. Thank you!
Peace! |

an intriguing write.
It's a good question that your pose, and an age-old one contextualised in this particular mythology - who will ensure we are rightly seen off to the next world?
Where whole lives can be lived in solitary splendour, we still hope for company on exit, or at least a right farewell.
