Crack Of A Bat
The crack of a bat
Or the sound of small arms fire
Putting my ribs back

Honored to protect and serve

In all the clamor
Only the brave can muster
The will for manners

Waking From
As if from a dream
Waking from ego’s folly
Once again redeemed

It Will Happen
Contemplating purpose…
It Will Happen
It’s happened before
And it will happen again
Need new worlds before

Or we roll the dice
Moons and dinosaurs attest
Do we go for thrice?
