These rolling Wessex hills that I call home
hold stories that will never be known
Much blood was shed and many men dead
these hills that I call my own

The clouds above drift silently by
the rains come as if they cry
looking down on me,
I wonder what they see
this quietness in my life

for times have come to speak of old
and words that seem but tarnished gold
bear weight in all their truth
so sit awhile, and speak of youth

that bore forth in fields of green
ambition, desires, still they stream
as air is air, and sun is bright
shall carry forth these words of Knight...

Their spirits march abreast in step,
brave banners flying, their hearts leapt
to see their country's banner fly
as missles of death flew on by.

Ever onward into the breach
gaining heights we could never reach
for different values they had then
while thinking they were just plain men.

And in these words may truths be told
born of life that once was bold,
in each life there is a passing stage
and wisdoms born with years of age.

Life carries on throughout the years
filled with happiness, filled with tears
and we learn the lessons taught
within each life the truth is sought.


On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

in what life may truth be found?
each of us, lost, may cast around
searching for a deathless flame
a light to keep us free from blame

the engine of the world works
and though at its heart a darkness lurks,
still its work is good and true
firm purpose, clean of hue
