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 !
