Searching for a special sense of identity
Seven men representing three hundred and fifty years
Gathered around a carved oak table
In a contemporary gothic church
Talking about heroes
Joined in contemplation of noble warriors
Moving quickly from John the Baptist
To Abraham Lincoln, John Wayne, Norman Swartzkopf,
And others
Larger than life
Molded by determination
Tempered by exposure to adversity
Caught up in purposeful, self sacrificing, altruistic
Burning desire to serve a greater cause
To make a difference
To change a World
Seeking to define that collective boldness
That surrounds the extraordinary existence
Of mortals elevated to a revered realm
Playing destiny's hand
Rising to the occasion
Ultimately departing the sureness of polished oak
In search of the unfamiliar wilderness
Away from reflective imagination in quest of action
To slay the dragon
To breathe new life
