Morse Code
The hour is early
The night is cold
The flashlights flicker
The tone; broken clarity with owl call
Darkness is so much more than night
Where evil roams, t'was here this night!
Listening to the rain land on my hat
Watching the water glisten and roll over
the cars body part
Waiting for the man to let the body pass
A stretcher is waiting, a body bag!
Notebook contains initial facts
In a pocket on me with a cold hand
Sometimes I wonder
If I really care
I get to know them after seeing their
dead stare!
I have to dig in worse than mud
I go to places where few would go
In all the madness I need to know
I promise to them that I'll do all I can
Each case weighs heavy on this mortal man
I look back on my life
I have no kids, I have no wife!
Killers and rapists, thieves and villains
I hunt, I forage, I seek, I find
My childhood hero made me my mind
I sometimes ask him what he thinks
I hear his voice say this to me of all things:
ENDEAVOUR.
