Poem
I saw a fair young maiden, abandoned in her bed, Tearful for the one she loved ,the one she chose to wed. Who in a weakened moment tread, out to the mountain ledge, Enticed by the knight in black, who brought him to the edge. Come fly with me, the black knight said, " to a land of pure euphoria, And let me show you wondrous things, that I can lay before you. No more pain and no more strife, just endless days and endless nights of wine and song and dance. Come my prince ,come fly with me ,why not take a chance, Forget your wife, come live your life ,it's time for new romance. A tiny pill, is all it takes, a sniff of fine white powder, Will keep you high, so you can fly up to the magic tower". So ,the prince he ate the tiny pills and sniffed the fine white powder, And soon he was addicted, to the magic of their powers. Away he flew ,up to the moon, beyond the Milky Way, Where stars came out and winked at him and beckoned him to play. Everyday he ate the pills and sniffed the fine white powder, But everyday...he needed more as they slowly lost their power, And now he couldn't fly as high and that was terrible thing, for there were more a more feathers missing from his wings. Then one day ,while he flying, reaching for his dreams, He felt the power leaving him ,and he began to scream. Down and down and down he fell, crashing to the ground;; Lost dreams and broken promises, lying all around. And like a wounded bird with broken wings, that cease to flutter, The truth rained down upon his head ,as he floundered in the gutter Oh what a crazy fool he'd been, blinded by the knight, Could he ever win her back ,and make the wrongs all right? He cried and cried, into the night, regrets were his companions, Until he heard the sound of hooves ,rumbling through the canyon. Through tear-filled eyes, he saw a herd, of royal beauty stallions, And perched upon ,their royal backs ,were knights in white so gallant. Carefully ,they scooped him up ,and carried him away, Into the East ,they rode from hell, for three long nights and days. When long at last, with horses spent ,they reached their destination, They placed him in the hands of God ,for this was His creation. Great warmth began to fill his heart ,and light shone from his eyes, He felt the gentle hand of God, and he began to cry. Such happiness. he had never known. it lifted him so high, He spread his wings, up to the sky ,and he began to fly. Up to the sky, on mended wings, with angels all around him, He heard the voice of God ring out, and totally surround him. "I've done my part ,my fallen prince ,but the rest is up to you, Fly straight and true, and don't look back ,no matter what you do. Lead not thee to temptation son .for if you do, you'll die, Fly straight and true, my fallen prince, or forever, cease to fly". Will the prince ,journey home again ,to his fair and lovely maiden Or, will temptation ,lead him back, to the evil Black Knight Satan?
