On Knights and Castles...

On Knights and Castles...

A Poem by Michael G



I wish I could give you
your castle in the air.
The place where you feel
safe... and warm.

I wish I could be your Knight.
But alas, I'm just a man
from humble beginnings.
Never strong enough
to slay dragons,
and overcome evil sorcerers.

I don't own a white horse,
nor have a servant in my care.
No swords fit my hands anymore.
I don't claim to fight
the true and valiant fight.
Even windmills
are sometimes stronger than me.

But I try.

I bring to you
my honest and open heart.
I will give you
harmony...
for your spirit.
I will be thoughtful
of your joy.

I will fend off the winter's cold
with the warmth of my soul...
and fetch you refreshments
to cool your forehead
in summer.

I'll do whatever...
for my lady;
to make you feel safe
and warm...
as you would be,
in our castle in the air.
