Blessed
Hinting at greatness,
The young boy hurls
That ball, with blue flame
And fire chasing it.
In his exacting delivery,
He is surgically precise.
Like a cornered viper
In momentous moments,
Under preposterous pressure,
He is at his deadliest.
Anyone with knowledge
Of the game can see
His gift and potential.
The boy himself will
Soon realize his talent and,
Already his heart holds
The game in a vise like grip.
That combination, is his
And his family’s ticket
Out of their meager home.
He is a desolate spark of hope
In the pitch blackness.
Like a struck match he will
Illuminate the night.
"..Like a struck match..."
Enjoyed the celebration of potential realized and embraced ~allets~
