at the crack of the bat
in that nick of an instant
you know that it’s gone
there’s no need of a sprint
just a thoroughbred trot
round the bases will do
it’s the same whether played
in rough sandlots of youth or
grand ballparks that showcase
skilled men in their prime
it’s the puffed-up-chest feeling
of making one’s mark
on a small arc of history
one standout moment
to last for a lifetime
remembered relived
a reminder a testament
everyone has it within them
within their two hands
with a well-practiced effort
and a disciplined focus
to once and for all
catch lightning in a bottle
Remarkable how often you manage to do that in your poetry! I mean, Hit it out of the Ballpark!

nice of you to say, for I was pretty unremarkable at the plate – though I made a fair catcher

A reminder of my beloved cricket. Few similarities save for the one out of the park. Super stuff.

Remembering some of the pause and stare for a moment homeruns and the slow trot around the bases.

This made my heart swell at the possibility. Wonderful reminder of the best that we can be – even if we are not athletic.
