Knight of the Masquerade- Part One
chill;
evening;
darkest moon;
slowly approaching;
shroud of darkness;
castle appearing;
from the mist the knight emerges;
gallant knight so young and brave;
armor of steel...sword of silver;
well put together is this knight;
massive steed so strong and powerful;
white as the snow...swift as the wind;
brilliant knight on steed approach;
lower the drawbridge is shouted from within;
soldiers obey and the bridge opens...like the great mouth of a dragon;
the knight is hesitant knowing what lies ahead;
it is not the people who scare him but his fear of revealing...revealing his true emotion;
he cannot let his guard down;
his mind races;
remember your training...be strong, be steadfast;
you are a knight of the castle;
you must set an example;
be strong...be courageous;
show no fear...never give up;
entering the town the knight flips up his visor yet puts on a mask;
a mask of happiness;
his steed halts...he slowly dismounts;
he is greeted by friends and family;
the mask remains intact;
to see the king the knight now goes;
pondering which mask should he use now;
a mask of victory is now put on;
the king is greeted...long live the king;
the king is pleased;
the knight leaves the court;
