a crystal menagerie of arthurian legend

trapped in amber

behind the veil of time and space

elemental runes etched on the craggy walls

sword and steel frozen in battle stance

the maiden heart and virtuous knight locked in each other’s gaze for eternity

of dragons and lairs filled with golden dreams

and demons and atlantis beneath the waves

far from here, this mundane and dreary existence

i am a knight, chivalry my shield and honor the sword i wield

for king and country, for the damsel most fair

the lone bard riding his trusted steed

adventure calls
