One Eyed King Battles

One Eyed King Battles I fought the bright sky, heaven and stormy sea so quick to fight any that would dare fight me Asking for love and life, so very little more a master views a vast ocean from a safe shore! Trumpets sounded a call to battle the light so blind to hate my soul always was to fight No thoughts of why ever bounced into my mind a one eyed king within a world of the blind! Now the fight is to never return to the dark memories of great battles so evil and stark No call will I ever take to end my new quest victory calls for courage, truth is the best! Robert J. Lindley

To the bold goes the fair...weather. We storm inside and out--that's what it's all about ! Light may yet triumph over darkness, but sans the night we cannot know the day. Truth prevails. A great take on the theme, Robert !

Enjoyed reading this one today.."No thoughts of why ever bounced into my minda one eyed king within a world of the blind"..Very creative work..One eye is better than no eyes then again is it..A half truth might be worse than no truth..Sara
