Knight

Knight in Defense

What is a knight if his choices are soiled
If honor has lost its luster,

If the knight follows the whispers that lead him into the forest,
And led off the path that to him was given,

It looks so beautiful,
If only I could touch,
Fleeting images of emptiness,

Pursue folly instead of wisdom,
Like a drug, it sedates,
Until your are so lost,
And it is too late,

I sit up from my squat
Of what should be or should not,
From these knees I rise,
Chainmail shirt “clink” “clink”
Softly, surely, carefully I head,

With my head back on,
Walking back to where I had wandered from,
Into the light,
Where I really mattered
Into the Son,,,,,,,,,
Where I never shined brighter
