SPIRIT
Man gets tired, ‘spirit don’t. Man surrenders, ‘spirit won’t.
Man crawls, ‘spirit flies. Spirit lives when man dies.
Man seems. Spirit is. Man dreams. The spirit lives.
Man is tethered. Spirit is free. What spirit is man can be.

Here is a flag tower built by man brick by brick and deep by deep.
It is the fuel on which our faint hearts feed.
Love is a whisper, a breath and nothing more.
But love will win because love is coming from an endless store.
