The Life of a Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court

The Life Of A Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court

There within the postern side of a hairy night
Fumbled the great hero with his sharpened sword 
His valor never questioned, he knew no fright
not even anger and pain of avenging hordes
All that red-blood spilt and enemy destroyed
His courage always a stout stallion on display
Long Bow, sharp sword and keen knife, tools he employed
And the beauty of pure courage with little pay
As knight he knew to honor his master and God
To fight for divine goodness and a righteous cause
Truth, bravery evident wherever he trod
Only helping those innocent gave he good pause.

A most courageous knight and a valiant quest.
Serving only truth, light and God that he knows best.

Robert J. Lindley, Jan 1st 1971
Age 17 years old

Note: Doubts are there, if King Arthur really existed.
He does my friends, as I have seen him often in my dreams.

Michelle Morris July 14, 2023 at 4:02 PM Lovely poem. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking and inspirational piece. I still believe that King Arthur, his knights of the round table and Merlin exist. It's one of my favourite stories. I believe in magic and miracles. Stay blessed. :-) Robert Lindley July 15, 2023 at 8:44 AM As do I my friend. The story may be about a real king and are stretched to make him seem even far more heroic. One of my favorites as well. God bless.
