This is not the staff the poem was originally about but it was a good one.
Seven Strong Soldiers on a
Blue Battle Field
Sun so Strong it Sears Spirit
Burns Bodies Bronze
Shines on Sails
Sparks on Spray
So Much Summer
Endless
For One Brief Moment,
Endless
Brothers Burned Brown
Sea is a Sister
Brimming Beauty
Bare feet, Built Bodies
Barely Boys
Men
For one Endless Summer,
Men
Sweet sugar in the air
Citrus, Light, Intense endless skies
Tangible leisure
Invigorating purpose
A long blue water, a Weathered dock
Call of wild birds, Birds call to wild
Wild answers
Tamed by the wild
We need the Sovereignty
This is also a different staff but a good one.

I really really like that poem Shaun.
I love your poem, and the burned brown brothers you helped to build into men.
