Poem

(Dedication: For Demetrios Trifiatis)


Troy and sure war, Trojans and Greeks;
Report mad flaws -- rouse warriors' peak;
On for ten years, on both sides dwell;
Yes tear for tear, yes death did well!


Urge firms glory, urge frames action;
Love of country, love of duty;
Yield to vain sire, yield to grand thought;
See siege and fire, see plan and plot;
Sense raging seas, sense warring ways;
Etch destiny, etch faraway;
Sacred code free, sacred code slay!


One decade's scheme, one decade's stray;
Reach for war themes, reach for home sway.


One brave man knows; one brave heart grows;
Dare siege bold war, dare wood horse show;
Yes far from kin, yes far from home;
Struggles seek win, struggles find roam;
Seek warrior's end, seek journey's rest;
Endless this blend, endless this quest;
Unleash wise sense, unleash clear scan;
Succeed suspense, succeed ascend.


Ithaca prompts, Ithaca sighs;
Trust warring romps, trust homeward cry;
Heed the musings, heed the warnings;
Apt questioning, apt answering;
Choice brought your here, choice takes you there;
Apply good cheer, apply heart's care!


Calm and stern poise, calm and brave flight;
Apply sure voice, apply fond sight;
Love takes you where? Love brought you here?
Live your harsh fare, live your prized spheres;
Survive trials' glare, survive life's tears.


Yes shrewd and brave, yes calm and clear;
Opt tact that saves, opt plan that steers;
Use fool and knave, use con and cheer!


Home floods your heart, home calls your face;
Offer pure art, offer sure trace;
Mind what you find, mind what you meet;
Effort you bind, effort you greet.


Hero of fate, hero of old;
Echoes unbraid, echoes unfold;
Realms of Greek yore, realms of Homer;
Old tales before, old times yonder.
