Ronin Poem by Arik Fletcher

Out of the void and into your life,
Out on our own and into the strife,
Out in the world in search of a home,
Out on our own but never alone,

Out with the old and in with the new,
Out of our depth but making it through,
Out in the light away from the dark,
Out of the void and making a mark,

Out of our home- descending to hell,
Out of our zone- our comforting shell,
Out in the dark away from the light,
Out of control and into the fight,

Out of the team that made it this far,
Out on our own with many a scar,
Out of the flames- no love left to burn,
Out for the count- no hope of return.
