Adorned in his mystical robes
of shimmering moon and stars,
drawn from the vault of heaven
by the power of Merlin, himself,
when other worlds were only seven.

He emerges from the crystal cave,
from the old world into the new,
He holds aloft the sacred chalice.
Before him lies the shinning palace...
of Chamelot

He smiles on his remembering
then salutes the once and future king.

Ida,

You've captured my passion for wizards in this poem--a magical journey with just enough mystery to keep me coming back, wondering.

Love this, Ida!  The myth and mystery of wizards always enthralls.

"He smiles on his remembering
then salutes the once and future king."

Yes - maybe history repeats itself.

Enjoyed reading you.  I liked the way you ended it with the following lines.

Yo dear Ida,

You've been into Mary Stewart again.

Merlin is one of my favorite people.

Thank you all so much for your very kind comments. Yes, Bobby, I read The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills and The Last Enchantment some years ago and found them facinating. Merlin is one of my favorite people as well.
