Go Thy Way

It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady. - Thoreau

as i rode in through the castle gate upon a white steed

armor and broadsword clamoring

in the last bastion of chivalry

a medieval miracle in the making

an annointed renaissance of emancipation

i saw you

keeping vigil from a narrow opening in the hoary stones of the watchtower

you rejoiced in sharpened hennin

shouting enlightenment

turning a dated, yellowed page

ushering in the end of

a very dark age

Author's Note

"The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star." - Thoreau

"chivalry" Gonna give You 100 just for using this word. I love it and sure it suits You dear Pete. there are always in all times few people who hold the truth and carry it safely until the end, while the rest of the world either sleeping or calling them crazy, or sure fight them. that's what Chivalry is, and what a real Knight is.

Took me to those medieval times with the author being the chivalrous knight on a white steed, rescuing the damsel in distress.
I love it...
