A Crest Ablaze
Flying alone,
over fury enthroned
Its colors became
quite clear
The enemy strained,
as freedom remained
Covered in blood,
now spent and dear
Stitched yellow and blue,
its message true
This banner does
not run
To hang steadfast,
and slay the past
And carry our glory
sum
A crest ablaze,
in fire and haze
Horses hooves high in
the air
Now honor bound,
on sacred ground
Heralding truth,
--- its cross to bear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
