A Night's Tale

 *I was never much of a poem writer but I figured I'd give one a shot. Been so tired the last two days, physically and mentally. It's hard not getting much family help. Feeling so isolated here too.

A Night's Tale

Noble

Honorable

All words to describe thee

But if what a Knight’s duty was in vein

To quote one fictional character

“Bravery is the kindest word for stupidy”

For all the gallant men that ride into battle

The only reward that they are guaranteed is blood

Whether it be their own or from the brothers around them

All the while the kings and lords sow the benefits

As families reap the dead

Is it better to be the guy that dies in the 1st charge of battle?

Or hide amongst the corpses to live another day

I don’t want to be a Flag Bearer

I want to be the one that survives the next battle

Because the battle of life is a test of patience

Not a race but a journey

Mark one chapter harder than the others

But not the last

Takes notes on the difficulties

And take pride on the successes

Keep on flipping the pages because it is never over

Even if you close the book

The story still lives on through the consciousness of thought

From Night to Day, and back to Night

rinse and repeat

Open it up again when you are ready

Because a good story always has time to be told
