Soaring high on immortal wing Often cloaked, sight unseen Master harpers sing the lore Of priceless treasures beyond its door Bursting flames, burning night A gallant quest for all that’s right Men of greed and lustful heart Are destined to fail from the start Hark and take heed brave young knight When you embark on this timeless plight Hold a favor of your lady fair It shall protect and guide you there Search not with eyes, but that within Be true of heart and you will win When it is found, show no fear And to the law always adhere Steady yourself and raise your sword Penetrate its armor, claim your reward Within its lair you will find Splendid beauty, heavenly divine Its treasure is comprised, not of gold Or anything to be bought or sold Share with your lady this wondrous thing And you will soar high on immortal wing |

JLocke~ I thoroughly enjoyed this piece ~ Really liked the opening verse ~ 'Soaring high on immortal wing Often cloaked, sight unseen Master harpers sing the lore Of priceless treasures beyond its door' Nicely portrayed thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
