[Steppes] Steppes Fighter Practice 10-28-2007

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Hallows Eve Arrives
Heralding End of Harvest
Prank or Pleasure
Rule of One
Alternating between Order of Two
Will Be Upon One and All
For such Choices Are
While Sands within Glass
Marathon Drifting Upon the Wind
Sun of Autumn
Heat yet not –
Refreshing with Breeze
War upon Beyond - Questions Arise
Which is Best
Which is Worst
Normal Question of as Above
Is Never More
For the Sands Count for Thee
For Now there are Three Instead of Two
Which is Just and Right
Which is Right, not Just
Which is Neither - Yet Best of Three
The Weather or Best gauge, Perhaps is Where
Less is Best
Question raised – Answer Lays Within
For Woodwork yields
Numbers that have not Seen Light of Day
Hope Rising that Such Will not Be Blinded
For that Glitters is Not Golden and True
According to Some
Mass Yet Not Critical
If not decided - Why join?
Such Gathering
Laws of Physics - Large Inert for Movement
Whole purpose to gather
Not to re-write History
Provide that what has been Missing
 From YesterYear - Rather
Full Day of Fighting for One and All
A Steady and True Run
Start to Finish without Change
Nay In Mid-Stream nor Announce Such
While remaining Mute to Fairness
To the Dream with Honor
Instead Base Metal Rises To Surface
Much as Bad Dough for Poor Bread
Where Value not sought for True Skill and Fun
Those Not of Mass
Need not Join other than become
Consider Good for Hunt – Not of Wild
One and All below Level
Must to their knees as those Above
Wish to see for Their Own
For Thou Growth will increase from
Within Their Presence will Fall upon Thee
Dare Ye Not Speak Aloud of Things
That are Above Thou Station
Yet a Game is what Appeals to All
Where All Noble, regardless of Weapon or Skill
So Back to Choice
Which Upon Two lesser Will Thee Join
For Thou shall Receive Far Greater Rewards
Than Mass Shall Ever Receive of Day
For Your Turn
Those who Oppose
Fighting - Order of Day becomes
A Dance that Always Full
While Not staking Claim upon Mother
Waiting Like Sheep
End of Day as Sands Count
Win or Lost – More Shall Receive
Than Mass in Count of Combat
Prayer if you must – Choose Thee Will
What will give Thou the Most?
Fighting for all You are Worth
Or just Waiting Your Turn As Sheep?
Then Pray for Deliverable of YesterYear
That Battlefields and Plans within
Each Portion Shall Remain True
 From Start to End without Fail
And if such proves YesterYear
Still Lives,
Then why Continue>
To Attend when Fairness has Sailed!
That Question Must be Answer
Will Dream Continue OnWard
Or will it as most Dreams Do
Slip Away upon the Wind
Much Like Dust
Perhaps Never More
For Thought?
