Yet at this very moment the cathedral was crumbling
down upon the cries of foresaken refugees,
the monastery's walls wobbling from war's wreckage,

with the bodies of...

We Are Freedom Destiny

to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -

Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

The Hero - Monomyth
(Dedication: For Ann)

The tale now mints: a hero hears
A call that tints, a choice appears.

To cross the seas, to face the test.
Denial comes brisk, no hero here
To dare grave risk,...

Eyes burning yellow, like a raging storm.
Uncertain she stood facing what was South,...
