Medieval Seduction
I have not always history enjoyed
It started small
a little corner of my minds eye
But my vision widened
Into history,
and her story.
I became intrigued.
What fine clothes they wore,
what handsome steeds,
Purer flower and fauna.
Architecture so inspired
Multi spired
Vastly simple
Opulent, yet necessary
Where was I in that design?
Which ancestor sent me here?
from what linage?
The cares of today
evolved from the past
then rush into the future.
I can embrace
from whence I came
chose paths that will take me
where I wish to go.
So if
while reading stories
and accounts
of things that were before
I settle back against a rock or pillar
dreaming of what was
I am merely seduced
by gentle tendrils
teasing my imagination
for a second glance
into the cloak of the past.
