The Beauty Of Returning Home


Baseball is not a struggling momentum, 
but the spatial awareness of fortitude,
a narrative of pauses where beauty thrives
in the space between pitch and swing,
a jade diamond shaped from soil,
where time effectively stands still.

Within the timeless design of opportunities 
lies the idyllic beauty of stretched promises,
flourishing in the arena of action -
the metrical smack of a ball hitting the leather
and the ripple of murmur in the stadium.

There is a profound modesty entwined
with the tapestry of the beautiful sport 
that reflects the resolute endeavor of resilience,
adorned by the cyclic rhythm of return to home,
the delightful  journey ending where it begins.
