Knights and Kings and Crazy Thing

I’ve found myself in shadows

like the spider waiting for the fly

webbing all my sorrows

 and viewing the blue sky.

 

I’ve traveled through the forest

to smell old nature’s way

and sat there in awe and wonder

of the glory of this place.

 

All I need now—in my kingdom

is a love that’s true and free

that wants to share my everything

and make a king of me.

 

Though, life’s not that easy—

you must learn to play the part

of a white knight dressed in silver

with a war horse underside…

 

searching for the strength and will

 to complete my time

in fairy tales and make-believe

and other crazy rhymes.
