Hushed voices speak of him On the night breeze he lives haunting the stories The tales they sing of him His Legends lives in fairy tales told to children to dull senses In the twilight before the bed Surviving as dreams in young kids heads What he was is forgotten His memory survives none the less he fights all thats rotten and He is the hero that saves the princess All he is fantasys and myths His words spoken by actors Written by the poets and the players which down the years have inspired and uplifted Did he exist the hero of old Were all his exploits fearless and bold did he punish the dragon did he Bring down baron death Was he a Hero untill his last breath What he was is forgotten Doomed to misquotes yet he lives forever because to our hearts he has spoke Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock 'n roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow |

This was beautiful Walter...an excellent description of the myth, the legend... Yours truly, Angel "The dark weight of the hour humming madly filling my head with blood and sorrow and dread the executioner's song." -Jewel "The Dark Bells" ~*Angel of Darkness*~ |

Walter this was great! Can I be stupid and ask which guy is he????? May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

"hes" got nothing on you walter..  this was poetic perfection... as always...jm His Legends lives in fairy tales told to children to dull senses In the twilight before the bed Surviving as dreams in young kids heads What he was is forgotten His memory survives none the less he fights all thats rotten and He is the hero that saves the princess loved these images... Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |
