[Old Sarge]

The Knight repairs to the tower,
wounded, scarred, but not unbowed,
Storm-wracked field awash and blowing,
Spirits soaked, but never cowed,

And in this place of quiet rest,
candle flickering in the night,
the Lady leaves her message of longing,
can you see His eyes shining bright?

In this place, so far from home,
newly-scarred face that frames the eye,
He reminds his Lady, distance is as nothing,
never farewell, and never goodbye,

But can only in part silence, and never still
the voice of music and verse that sings,
caring and coming from faraway lands,
for Yours, comfort and love it brings.

[Soaring Feather]

Fair Knight whose song
is sorely missed at eve's time
when the Poet's Dance is rhyme
Cloaked in armor laden from weary
battles of honor and winds of war
rest thy tired bones in chambers
of soft velvet cloth
and sup with me on this night's
reprieve from the fight
gather thy lonely beaten breast
near to thy maidens chest
assuage to this valiant knight of war
a kind word we do implore
and no more talk of war
but lavender lace fields of clover
a genteel moment of respite
please...

Candle light burns low
in secret chambers
love's song
star filled flights
dreams of castles grand
and peace throughout the land
where chivalry is still grand
