the cradle

years rolled by

of woven blood

forgotten rule

lay in mud

 dire cosmic dream

of an eon lost

 waves of god

and wanderlust

 salvaged edge

hardened steel

 blade that bled

 cu roted wheel

 heart of truth

soldered steed

seeds of change

blown on a breeze

here lies sorrow

here lies greed

here lies foolish

wanton deed

lay them out 

for truth to bear

witness forth

thy soul to share

 now in freedoms breath are we

billowed out for us to see

the new dawn

brings us home 

as we are born 
as we are grown
