The sandlot ghosts have long since flown
No longer do we hear them moan
Their cries through summer nights cannot pervade us.
Still the sounds and sights ~ of close game fights
The slosh of sweats ~ with no regrets
Do echo hearts and minds that once portrayed us.
To feel again that sandlot cling ~ oozing into everything
Awakens like a technicolor morning ~ So rest the mind
There is no season’s end ~ Baseball is Forever.
