 By window light the Lady waits and gazes o'er the vale The scene is set in days of Kingdom's reign Her eyes are searching for the steed that carries one she loves Whilst tears are falling down like lover's rain... The Lady's hand is not her own Her destiny is fixed A Kingly sum was paid her sire at birth For in the days of Camelot When power ruled the land A Lady measured gold against her worth... Her duty known and understood she grew within it's cage From child to woman, pure of heart and mind The one to whom her hand belonged was counting to the hour and relishing the thoughts of what he'd find... For he was known throughout the land as spawned of evil's lust More ancient than the local gentry knew The maiden that was promised would provide him with the heirs His power, once again, unmatched by few... Within her soul, the Lady knew her life was not as seen Her destiny was waiting past the gates But no one knew that through the years her heart she'd given to a valiant Knight, one chosen by her fates... She'd never been alone with him and only once he'd spoke His voice proclaimed allegiance to her care His gaze told all that words could not His kiss embraced her hand Her smile told him that love was waiting there... Alas, but time was running out Her freedom at an end Within the morrow, banns would be exchanged Too soon the Lady would become enslaved and forced to live Within the castle walls, as thus arranged... These thoughts of hopeless dread o'ertook her by the window's light She almost didn't hear the drumming beat Of stallion hooves or quiet whispers from beloved lips As through the window, hers they reached to meet... He drew her safely to him carried her to waiting steed Then like the wind they rode for distant shores And as I walk these meadows I can almost feel them near Sending love from Camelot forevermore... Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ [This message has been edited by Sunnyone (09-10-2003 12:19 PM).] |

Thank you Nancy, and I always loved tales of Knights, castles, and Kingdoms!!! I've had the opportunities to walk within castle walls here in the UK, and it always ends up in a story!! Thank you again!!! ~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Perhaps this will call Lady Ollyne out, or Lady in White, to join you in poetic recollection of those winsome, wanton days... Thank you, Sunny.... |

 (smiles) Oh Sunnyone, I love the wonderful stories of Camelot, sweet friend, this made me cry a little because I always have gorgeous dreams of my mystery dream girl that I long to meet and I always think of her and imagine if she is yearning for me so much and I just hate to imagine her crying for me! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, 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 I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Dry those tears, my little brother, as your special dream girl is smiling when she imagines you! She sees your loving face, and all of your heart in your eyes, when she closes hers. Somewhere she is knowing that Destiny will join you, and the wait will have been worthwhile.....~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

"He drew her safely to him carried her to waiting steed Then like the wind they rode for distant shores And as I walk these meadows I can almost feel them near Sending love from Camelot forevermore..."
