The battle cry
has just begun
clash of sword
rings true
I knew
the look
the glint of steel
blood fresh on face
a stain of grace
music streaming
soul screaming
for something new

Dear Knight
lay down your sword
rest your mind
your weary load
place your brow
within my hands
let me wash
your spirit free
understand your place
your heart and face
armor tinged
arduous escape
from fight within

To you my lace
I freely give
and water fresh
for you to live
until the dawn
the next display
a brand new sun
then dying day

Warm your feet
and rest your mind
by fire ablaze
and silent shroud
of resilent wings
wrapped and bound
upon and around
you now . . .

Dear Knight
h-u-s-h . . .
eyes closed
silence
the only sound

(sigh) Oh Sue, this is beautiful, sweet friend, every knight deserves rest from the joust of life and should be honored with the chalice of life! (big hugggsssssss) I am sure this sip of poetic rosewater will heal his heart with a smile, yay, God Bless You Both, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It being 4:45 AM and my not having slept.. all that peace and gentleness sounds like a sin.. I'm not even sure it exists! lol
Beautiful and compassionate.

Always, Alyssa

wow! that was a fantastic poem.

I wish i could read more works with the potency, the poignance, the luster of that work.

Absolutely tremendous!

Sue, this is beautiful, you've actually left this chatterbox speechless. You're lucky to have each other. I'm saving this~
