Heroes (Elegy For A Friend) Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Sacrificing the ordinary...they ride
stone white horses sans the reigns
over black, cold tumorous mountains,
and they do so... because they can.

Insistence- the keystone of strength,
persistence- the headstone to cower,
resistance- to the warrants of danger
make heroes.....because they just do.

All Life must have veins of influence
for Death to have its badge of honor;
it's far harder to lead- than to follow;
heroes lead because they know how to.

Heroes sacrifice, because someone must,
some disappear, like the last drop of sunset,
into the ocean unseen, unsung;
Isn't that just how they would want it?

Sleep deep in pleasure, my cohort in chaos...
