⚔️ Serpent Slayer

Lightning struck—then thunder rolled,

Lightning struck—then thunder rolled,

Reptilian shards of steel—laid bare;

Red sparks flew—searing flare—

Serpent of lies—struck down mid-air.

No crest, no cloth, no gilded layer,

Just tempered will and steady prayer;

One blow broke through the maddened snare—

And stilled the noise: Serpent Slayer.

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
