on the battlefield thought
death halts amidst the fallen
driving a standard of
ibis and crescent into
crimson'd earth he whispers
keep a mutable mind,
ideals are leaden bindings

Ideals do make for stiff spines
don't they...

probably why my middle name
is Gumby...

Very good, Raph...very good.

Mann Raph,
this is truly amazing
reminded me LOTR
but more medieval
and I SAW that occurring

plunging and muttering . . .
nice metaphors
and message well sent
xxoo

Oh...very well done, Raph.
I love this.

Hugs to you, friend...

love of power the world will know peace.
