 The man sits tall on horse of white Rides silent through the mist of night With armour chinked upon his breast Well suited for this burning quest... In land afar a maiden waits Bequest to him within the Fates But worth is proved by ancient test And only one stands o'er the rest... So, on he rides his ghostly steed To conquer death in fiery deed The heart within beats strong and brave A Knight of night, on quest to save... The dragon waits within his lair With captured prize, the maiden fair His breath of fire denies escape And those who try meet timely Fate... Much closer now, the Knight can see His duty and his destiny Ahead the lair, and what's inside Is that which cannot be denied... With sudden flash of fiery roar And flames that slash the cavern's door The dragon leaps into the air Not seeing what awaits him there... For ghostly steed can also fly And battle's onslaught lights the sky The Knight possesses wizard's sword Which finds it's mark, and death is poured... The dragon breathes his last and dies Whilst in the cave, the maiden cries He picks her up, in gentle sweep And dries the tears her eyes did weep... Then off into the night they speed Upon the ghostly flying steed Two hearts consumed by love within The Fire-Seeker wins again... Life is what you make it Don't let it make you... |

This would make a great illustrated children's book -- so well written and very visual! |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Sunnyone, this so deeply touches my heart as I have always been enthralled by the times of chivalry and I wonder if my future love imagines herself like this and when I come for her if she'll cry in bliss and it'll feel just like this! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
