Above the voices
of axe and saw.
Echoing loud and clear
through forest and glade.
...
What is to become
of all good and fair men?
Will they be discarded
along the wayside?
...
Looking out across
green valleys kissed.
By the God's
ambrosia mist.
...
When their days at sea are done
they challenge the waves no more.
When the horizon no longer beckons
the deep finally loses its lure.
...
When I was young
the shadow he cast was long.
When I was afraid.
In his shadow I could be brave.
...
Within my arena
we face one another.
He but a mere mortal
no match for my might.
...
He said 'Walk with Me.' we walked.
Looking back to where we had been.
Desolation now a garden.
Storm n' tempest calmed.
...
From its station
with great span
of wings outspread.
I watched the eagle.
...
After the searing flames have gone.
When the choking black smoke has blown away.
I walked where green forests once stood.
Only ash and charred ruin remain.
...
