High Castle Pigeon [A Poetry Collection]: A Short Story From A Knight's Poetic Mind - The Jazzy Hummingbird Project

The Knight Who Never Said Good Night

You fight to free every kingdom,
but your home is what you vow to shield forever,
not yourself.
You don't care for a single gold coin nor bags of wealth.
You bless every innocent child with good health.
You don't care for the comfort of a famous throne.
Justice lives in each and every bone.

When you strike down evil forces,
you get a rush.
It is never crimson blood, but change you hope to shed and gush.
When you get injured, you never complain,
even with an arrow that nearly nicked your brain.
You do not care when others call you insane.
To you,
it is insanity,
that most across this land pursue war.
and have cut down their humanity.

In every cherished memory,
you will vanquish a heartless enemy.
With the constant perilous danger, you face,
you must challenge those who ride through life
at a most unrighteous pace.
Thus you embark upon a never-ending fight.
through the burning morning and hollow night
Fireflies and stars guide you.
You only permit followers whose hearts hum true.

Among this world,
you are a good knight.
Love serves as your armor and is what you wield.
You never will let others charge before you on the battlefield.
You will always hold out a hand to anyone in need of assistance.
You will never let peace get knocked down by any villainous resistance.
You will no longer support being a sacrificial magnet for war.
Helping others is at your castle's core.

You will inspire.
You will smite all unnecessary churning fire.
Anyone who tells you to hush will eat coal,
for the pain of others:
mothers,
sisters,
fathers,
brothers,
sons and daughters
left behind without any source of food, water nor bowl
powers your soul.
Change will forever be your legendary mark and ultimate goal!

- Vevna Forrow
