Notes About The Poem

Written as UCLA won its 20th, NCAA championship in men's volleyball.

Serve, Set, Dig, Spike

Most games are well-grounded,
    To earthen goals they can defeat.
        While few rise above the horizon,
            With constant volleys they can repeat.

                The game elevates to new heights,
                    Gracefully reaching above it all.
                        As angelic figures fly beyond,
                            Earthbound shackles that seem small.

                                Although clear boundaries guide play,
                                    There's no limit from what divides.
                                        The mortal effort to touch the heavens,
                                            Where the ethereal collides.
