The ocean crashes a thousand feet below,
It's mist swirls and coats
all I now know.

Sentinels here live and grow,
skyward a third of a thousand tall
Stand they do despite their scars.
Burned, cut or blow,
For the price we pay for cowardice
Is thrice that of bravery, they crow.
And those whom do fail and fall
With fertile love
To which this verdant world quickly flow.

Above me is a sea of branches, sky, and, dreams;
I thank the world to hear not their screams.

Surrounding me are the muffled prayers,
Of soldiers no one hears;
Fern, moss and green
provide my life with a screen;
Below their surface
pain does grow
Because fights with fascists
we are threatened to know.

Below me soft hummus of earth,
Absorb the heavy foot falls I birth,
Stride I do through the Moorman Grove
An end to which a treasure trove:
A trail without end to know.
The ocean crashes a thousand feet below,
It's swirling mist touches all our souls,
and this is all I owe.
Emend.
