Golden Home


Mighty thunder rents suddenly the air
and The Knight steps back onto the safety of the shore
drops to his knees and forms runes of protection in the sand
A fragranced breeze glances his cheek and hints of homely purpose
The Knight stands and gazes far to the horizon
and remembers himself and all that had been his life.


Close beside him the spectral piper makes his presence felt
and his song melts away forever the icy chill of guilt
The Knight smiles another simple smile and raises a laugh
Ahead of him strands of gold lift magically out of the shimmering floe
and form themselves into the hilt and blade of a mighty sword
the piper's song impelling The Knight to drop to his knees once more.
