White Knight

Orange red as burning fire beneath me Floating it ventures over and beyond Through the trees like white arrows, piercing through Emboldened, silenced the forest without sound Leaves scatter, burning through the shattered face Enlightened by the calm breeze of near day Practically suffered by ignorance The eyes of white look, can’t find what to say Avoiding the trees, the entity strikes Air is forced to succumb to the white knight Peace is all but reached, not a sound is voiced Daylight is coming quicker, it lost sight Corruption seems rampant, but it’s nature Veracious in its contemplation right Awaiting complete reversal the fog Releasing its grip on the day’s great might Russell Sivey

Intriguing write my friend. As Sara said, one is left to contemplate the White Knight. I personally felt as if you were taking a look at some racial and cultural issues here, but I do love a good poem that begs to be read again and again. Thank you for sharing.
