It's Been a Hull of a Life

I'm going to sea in a blueberry boat
paddling far past fakers and breakers
where I'm told there's happiness and hope
more givers and doers, not dreamers and takers.
I'll sing salty songs with sharks and gulls, 
until they nibble away my blueberry hull
and gift this soul unto the deep blueness-
