Parsifal A Knights Life
INTRODUCTION
A Feel For The Book.
Welcome once again to another new book. This one will take you through the stories and paths of a knight, It is not about jousting or sword fighting like I have written in the past. But this book will lead you into love, romance and the difficulties and exaltations of what it was or is like to be a knight in those days of chivalry. As we look at it today it is simple yet hard to look back and reflect on times and days gone by that would appear irrelevant nowdays or even completely out of date, but for those who love the tales and ways of knights and chivalry, this is for you. To me it is a bit of a thriller to get into and be involved with, though I have a love for the medieval days, I am really not a fighter but a writer, with a story to tell to the readers. In fact I am under strict orders by my doctor to take my medication each night and that helps me to function normally in this day and age. Writers however, especially of poetry, design their work and words to give you something to think about, in other words to dwell and mediate on while they write their meaningful depiction of the story. The idea really is to stop the violence, war and fighting and get right with God. This is a spiritual love of mine which I dedicate a lot of my time to seeking the righteousness of God. I try and find the spiritual path of happiness and peace in the daily chore of finding love and divine rationality with the wisdom that comes from and is produced by writing. While a knight was designed by very nature to defend himself, he would not attack normally unless he was attacked first, looking after his damsel and maiden. Fighting to the death was a sport or tournament that has been far outdated these days and infact there is a law against murder. Writing to the death is a spitiual path and labour of love that I hope that I can continue with untill my dieing breath. God knows the work that gets done in the selfish endeavour to create something worth reading for others. However this is just a far flung idea of satisfaction and a reason and purpose for living. We generate more income than we can actually use and even though we cannot have everything we want, we still have enough to live on with till we go to that great nursing home in the sky, some might call heaven, but to me a place to avoid and I would rather try at home to work with my head in the clouds thinking up new and meaningful ideas by brainstorming for you to read. Anyway here we go into this new book, Parsifal - A Knights Life, have a look through the page and chapter titles and get an idea and feel for what it is like and going to be about. Lets now make a start and get on with the job once again of writing the book. Please enjoy, Darel.
CHAPTER 1 CHIVALRY AND ROMANCE
1 Royal Romance
Its going to be a royal romance,
Twice as nice as an ordinary one;
Matched in heaven for hearts below,
Love above and beyond the normal.
Its going to be a royal romance,
God shines down to earth right here;
A prince and a princess hand in hand,
A marriage and wedding beyond all else.
Its going to be a royal romance,
The knight has the honour of giving the bride away;
His damsel in love with him as well of a kind,
The king takes his queen and they celebrate their lives.
Its going to be a royal romance,
Peace and joy going on within their minds;
The torment of hell far flung to the devil,
Its a wonderful thing for adventuring.
Its going to be a royal romance,
The two living together for ever and ever;
Their journey along the long road of life,
Sharing intermingled the pleasure of each other.
Its going to be a royal romance,
Surely it will be happily ending everafter;
Patient enduring, living till the end,
Lock in each others hearts and minds.
Signed,
Eternity together.
2 Cold As The Seas
His eyes as cold as the seas,
Happy heartbeat ocean full of love;
Sailing ships of old, gallions of gold,
Following the sun shining on the water.
His eyes as cold as the seas,
To find a tropical island and bury the treasure;
Then onto icy polar waters shiviring in hand,
A contrast of emotions, joys and pleasures.
His eyes as cold as the seas,
Captain Hook, Black Beard and Pirates;
Walk the plank, if you endure the difference,
Crying out loud, feed them to the sharks says he.
His eyes as cold as the seas,
A pod of whales up close breaching out of the water;
Harpoon them if you can, I say to my darling daughter,
She is a mermaid found and lost in love.
His eyes as cold as the seas,
Skies grey and terrifying, mystery to us all;
God holds the javelin of lightning to fall,
Bail out the ship, its going to rain.
His eyes as cold as the seas,
Man overboard, he got drunk on whiskey last night;
Mop the deck and dry out the sails,
Were in for a rough one, a rocky landing.
Signed,
Set to shore.
3 Wind Blown Love
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Sailing off into the shining sunset;
A world away of different minds,
A romantic boat just made for two.
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Bellowing into the sails above;
A gust and a blow of God's love,
Island hopping off into the sunlight.
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Watching waiting, romance made in heaven;
Time beating on into the twilight,
The joy of a distant angelic choir.
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Perfect matches made for togetherness;
Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans,
Maldives, Fiji and British Isles.
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Love made and married forever;
Two hearts beating the joy of one,
Set sails and head for homes harbour.
Wind blown love, two hearts on fire,
Around the world and back again;
Happily ariving where from start,
Lieing back in each others arms on a beach.
Signed,
Sand and surf.
4 Him and Her
Him and her, two together,
A knight and his damsel;
Displaying magesty and might,
Handsome and beautiful plight.
Him and her, two together,
On a romanitc quest for the truth;
Love lingering on, life's living proof,
Joined matrimonarily forever it seems.
Him and her, two together,
Him in royal armour, she in flowing robe;
Kissing till the moonlight hour,
Making love, very intimately.
Him and her, two together,
Entwined and happening evolvement;
Sons and daughters on there very way,
The royal family sisters, brothers, parents.
Him and her, two together,
King and queen interconnected together;
Crowned with jeweled crowns and throwns,
Septars, swords, banquet tables and feasts.
Him and her, two together,
Princes and princesses, royal magesty;
A knight on his quest for the grail,
Must succeed and also must never fail.
Signed,
Fair maiden.
5 A Knights Life
I guess it is just a knight's life,
On a quest for the grail and a wife;
Mounted steed of stature and fame,
White sturdy beast, lightning by name.
I guess it is just a knight's life,
With a coat of arms on his shield;
Holding a sword by his side,
His trusted horse with headress and coloured cover.
I guess it is just a knight's life,
Seeking the truth with valour and honour;
Justice and shivalry, the journey of following,
The kings leading instructions to heed.
I guess it is just a knight's life,
His banner of beauty and true love;
Riding into the castle across the draw bridge,
Off the highways and meandering roads of life.
I guess it is just a knight's life,
To serve with dignity and head held high;
A knights real true duty is to just do or die,
No servant ever goes totally unrewarded though.
I guess it is just a knight's life,
Fighting for justice, honour and truth;
The royal dignitaries of shivalry and strife,
A love that lives forever or else I'll never die.
Signed,
Death and breath.
6 Warmer With Two
Not sure who is listening,
Two make happy company;
Heard each others heart beating,
Comfortable with two together.
Warmer with two together,
Sleeping happily intertwined;
Connection perfection sweetheart,
Medieval old fashioned bed.
God bless the marriage,
The wedding was well enabled;
True loving and living,
Warmer with two is enough.
The knight and maiden together,
After the battle and the fight;
The opposite sex is better company,
Enjoying the love of each other.
Cold nights, both lieing together,
Warmer with two together;
Shivalry and romance enjoyed,
Better than the blankets at times.
Heads together on the pillow,
Kissing and cuddling at night;
Rejoicing in the perfect partner,
Warm enough together as two.
Signed,
Mixed feelings.
7 Kissing and Cuddling
Kissing and cuddling till dawn,
Getting up early in the morning;
Wrapped in each others love,
Together forever, so it seems.
Or is there more than evasive love,
Born to win, no push and shove;
Enjoying each other with God above,
Coming down from heaven like a dove.
A big smooch and all happy days,
Loving and living together;
Just the two of you to do business,
Holy matrimony the key to success.
The romance of both falling in love,
The beauty of ingrowing dignity;
The blessing of perfect integrity,
Truly in love with His magesty.
God's wife a reflective treasure,
Enjoying happily the right pleasure;
Kissing and cuddling for a long long time,
True love made in heaven.
Just as soon as they meet together,
They discover the joy of two;
Completing the vows of marriage,
Kissing and cuddling eternally.
Signed,
Togetherness.
8 He Will Die Before Fearing
A valient man is Parsifal,
Fighting for the truth and right;
He will die before fearing,
His the confidence of living.
To protect his damsel maiden,
In the line and duty of love;
For the course of there hearts beating,
Eternal life of infinite love.
Honour and freedom is his pledge,
To justify the time of grace,
The two come together face to face,
In the course of time and space.
He will die before fearing,
Doing his duty to his God;
The beauty of winning daily,
He must succeed or else fail.
Losing not an option at all,
For he does just do or die,
With his maiden daily lie,
The beauty of a magic life.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
Never tragic, fighting for a cause;
Schizophrenia, only always sane,
Lest he faulter and take the blame.
Signed,
Living endlessly.
9 Wisdom In The Wind
Wisdom in the wind,
Passing, fleeting on forever;
Understanding, ever longing,
Him to her belonging.
Wisdom in the wind,
The beauty of hearing whistling;
Blowing through our hearts and minds,
Hearing all the joy of love.
Wisdom in the wind,
The breath is born of God above;
Learning, concieving the gift of love,
People look to see the truth.
Wisdom in the wind,
Fashioned by the coming season;
More time to think and act,
The recipe of the perfect fact.
Wisdom in the wind,
Which direction did it come;
Did you see which way it went?
Hell is hot, heaven bent.
Wisdom in the wind,
For all the good of time and love,
Righteousness from God above,
No more ruin of push and shove.
Signed,
Four things.
10 Thirst And Feasting
Begger I am, believing I'm not,
Thirst and feasting, never sleep;
More to the meal than meets the eye,
God eternal coming through the sky.
Heavens banquet feast on the table,
Soup and sandwiches, a big ladel;
Roast meat and vegetables,
The king will sit down and eat.
Meet you where your at and from,
Its a gift from Christ who shone;
The wedding of the bride and lamb,
Those invited, high from God I am.
The virgen is the welcome church,
Of which the prince and knight have sought;
The princess married to the king,
The wedding that means everything.
Feast and thirst are both detained,
From those who sought selfish gain;
The pauper and the prince together,
God impartial in matters ordered.
Thirst and feasting, fleeting moments,
Nothing really good will last forever,
But undertaking the weight of heaven,
Glory in the eternal perspective.
Signed,
Don't miss out.
CHAPTER 2 KNIGHTS JOURNEY
11 Up The Lonely Path
Its a lonely path for a knight,
Travelling alone to his hearts delight;
Searching for that damsel maid,
And of course the holy grail.
Trying to find his way and direction,
To make that romance his selection;
Up the hill and down dale,
Around and about, but where it ends.
Along the road with the castle in sight,
Riding his trusty steed up to the gate;
The drawbridge up, he signals to lower it,
And enters in to meet the king.
Where have you been? the king asks him,
I have been here and there on the road to where;
I travelled near and far and ended up here,
From a distant kingdom of treasures in heaven.
I have travelled by myself for many a long day,
Up here and down the vale, stopping along the way;
Its good to get some company though,
Somewhere to stay and share the night.
I have a lot of stories to tell you here,
Of fighting the dragon and rescuing her;
Early one morning when the sun began to stir,
I arrived just in time to tell you this,
For tomorrow morning I am returning for a kiss.
Signed,
Travelling light.
12 Somewhere Down The Track
Somehwere down the track,
I know she is waiting;
To give me all the love I need,
Of fairy tales and stories answering this.
Somewhere down the track,
I am looking for and missing you;
Where and why I have been looking,
From where I have been and going now.
Somewhere down the track,
I must have missed the garden path;
The long lost track in the dark,
I will meet up with you again.
Somewhere down the track,
From the moment we first laid eyes on each other;
I knew I would return from where I came,
Out paths to meet just one more time.
Somewhere down the track,
Our hearts were beating strong as strong;
I knew it was true love for so long,
We will meet again, I don't know where or when.
Somewhere down the track,
Looking for the ancient path;
Where laughter laughs and laughs real hard,
Just don't forget that I am coming back.
Signed,
We will meet again.
13 Castle In The Distance
There is a castle in the distance,
I don't know where or when it was;
But I know it is there from where I come,
It just catches my eye when I get near it.
There is a castle in the distance,
Along the road of love and life;
Trying to live and keep out of strife,
To get me a maiden to be my wife.
There is a castle in the distance,
I see it there now on a mountain in the clouds;
Hundreds of pilgrims walking towards in crowds,
The home of the fisherking and shroud of Turin.
There is a castle in the distance,
Making many joyous and merry;
Across the mote on a kind of ferry,
People looking for miracles and healing.
There is a castle in the distance,
It looks very similar but there is a difference;
A lot of castles look the same,
With towers and drawbridges and motes.
There is a castle in the distance,
This one is surounded by a lake,
Getting across to it is no piece of cake;
Trying to get there depends on how hard you make it,
If you could only find the way in by cave.
There is a castle in the distance,
I know it is there but it is just where;
I see it now I found it in my heart,
God had a plan and he was being smart.
Signed,
Getting there.
14 Long and Winding Road
The long and winding road of life,
A knight trying to find his way and wife;
Learning the hard way to stay out of strife,
Trying to remember the memories and not wipe them.
The long and winding road of life,
Journeying from one place to the other;
Looking for a place to stay for a while,
Never sure just where you will lay your head.
The long and winding road of life,
A knight travelling along by day and night;
From village to village and town to town,
Searching for somewhere to sleep and stay the night.
The long and winding road of life,
Not sure just wherever you now belong;
Never sure where you came from or just how long,
Following a river or creek for a drink of water.
The long and winding road of life,
Roads that wind and mingle and intertwine;
Getting to the end is just what you find,
The treasure there in heaven at the end of the rainbow.
The long and winding road of life,
Coming up with a route to take by chance;
Searching out there is a look as you take a glance,
When you get to the end of it, all you want to do is dance.
Signed,
Final call.
15 Traveling and Following
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
The purpose and reason for listening;
Going your own way is just not OK,
Truth in the meaning and knowledge of existing.
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
Underlying circumstances for knowing detection;
Where you are going remains your selection,
Jesus Christ leading if you will only show acceptance.
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
Understanding the hidden agenda of persisting;
To an unknown location just there consisting,
Of all the good things you want and won't wait for.
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
Hear is my heart beating and leading me anywhere;
Somewhere distinguished and quite dignified,
A long way to ride on a horse just by daytime.
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
Forward and frontward, onward and upward;
It all ends up in the castle in the air,
Perfect beauty and all that is fair.
Travelling and following your hearts direction,
Created for enjoying and seeing different landscapes;
You just need to really face where you are headed or going,
Getting to the end is just ariving at the beginning.
Signed,
One distance.
16 Meandering and Wandering
Meandering and Wandering,
Seemingly up the garden path;
Along rivers and valleys,
Searching for what is hard.
Meandering and Wandering,
Up hill and down vale,
Through forest and bush;
Along the lines of loneliness,
As if the pony was being pushed.
Meandering and Wandering,
Along well trodden earths tracks;
Through bracken and undergrowth,
To the end of hell and back.
Meandering and Wandering,
Following streams and rivers;
Gently across creeks and stepping stones,
Up hill and down mountain.
Meandering and Wandering,
Wherever the road takes him;
To the edge of the earth and back,
Finding waterfalls and lakeside places.
Meandering and Wandering,
Till he finds the lost castle;
Over the mote and through the drawbridge,
The king rewards him with the princesses hand.
Signed,
Still knighted.
17 Wherever The River Flows
Wherever the river flows,
I will follow the water streams,
Down leading into the sea,
Creeks that find there way to the ocean.
Wherever the river flows,
Between mountains and valleys;
Tracks that follow and find the way,
From dawning till sunset of day.
Wherever the river flows,
Worldly ways of wisdom wonder;
Where is the prayer of heaven to me,
Keep me safe from hell as I do wander.
Wherever the river flows,
Along the rocky road of life;
Trying to live longer out of strife,
As well as find me my darling wife.
Wherever the river flows,
After dark on starlit nights;
Following the heart and head,
Where to sleep on an earthly bed.
Wherever the river flows,
Time comes and goes at light;
Dashing from another fight,
From disorder, things must be right.
Signed,
To the end.
18 Its A Very Long Day
Its a very long day,
The journey along the way;
Where to venture and travel grey,
Then to bed on straw and hay.
Its a very long day,
Time seems to take forever;
The winding road goes on and on,
Searching, trying, looking whether.
Its a very long day,
See the sky and find the weather;
Knowledge of the truth and past,
Deep within this long lost heart.
Its a very long day,
Crossing every fiord and fountain;
Ever looking, ever blessed,
Well you live to and seek the clever.
Its a very long day,
Hand and head and heart decide;
Where I live and will reside,
To our journeys end of the tale.
Its a very long day,
Beauty fleeting sweeping home;
In between the signs of love,
Faith and fate belong to God above.
Signed,
Truth abides.
19 The Maiden Along The Way
The maiden along the way,
Dare to seach and find the princess;
Through the valleys vale and dale,
Travelling along from here to there.
The maiden along the way,
Where will I pick her up from;
No-one seems to know just which,
She is not the castles witch.
The maiden along the way,
Travelling long and on forever;
The road to life, the door is there,
Though I search I do not find her.
The maiden along the way,
She is well and love adore;
Take her arms and sweep her off the floor.
The maiden along the way,
From tavern and crag where damsels be;
Trapped in the tower fo love with Thee,
Help me realease her from his hold.
The maiden along the way,
This young lass as good as gold;
Beauty made from Gods sweet mould,
Before I die or become very old.
Signed,
Patient love.
20 Damsel and The Well
Damsel and the well,
Where is love and does it matter;
Venturing to find the truth,
Drinking form the grail as proof.
Damsel and the well,
Eternal fountain, eternal life;
Drink from this and find your wife,
Living water, all free from strife.
Damsel and the well,
There she is, she wants a drink;
This is what I do and well would think,
The common bond and magic link.
Damsel and the well,
There she waits beside the water;
The duty is the love of beauty,
Draw down deep and quench her thirst.
Damsel and the well,
The hot dry dusty road of life;
Has found her hungry and thirsty,
Feed her food to satisy her need.
Damsel and the well,
A drink fro heaven to the thirsy;
The woman waits on God above,
Rain comes down the knights alright.
Signed,
Fountain reign.

In the realm of knights and kings;
Along the path and track of life,
Victory waiting, no further strife.

It is a road of love and labour;
The cross I carry, not to waver,
Histories past, memory of passed.
Fighting for future glory,
Riches ahead, treasures behind;
Worth the work and wanting time,
Towards the way of whats to come.

The one that got away,
Catching a fish or trying to;
A whale of a story really,
Fought for life, another day.

Parsifal on the road of life;
Avoiding trouble, staying out of strife,
Dodge the drops and bandits there.
The one that got away,
He was on the line and nearly caught;
But managed to avoid the end,
Finding his way clear to live again.
The one that got away,
The story goes on, but not over yet;
The truth he found a loving pet,
The stallion and horse to be his friend.
The one that got away,
He followed rivers and mountains high;
Staying clear of those who'd try,
To take his life and battle on.
The one that got away,
The path, the windy road of life;
Clear a path to endless life,
Life goes on to eternal life.
Signed,
Life Always.

Riding for a purpose and reason,
Everything right and in season;

Along the road of duty and strife
Riding for a purpose and reason,

To find the castle in which they lie,
The quest for beauty and for treasure.
Riding for a purpose and reason,
His stead a trusty horse and companion;
As they ride along the road of life,
To drink form the grail and find his wife.

Watching, waiting, following the path,
Along the lines of happiness and laughs.
The reason to live and write,
Words of choice and passionate meaning;
Self importance and individual cleaning,
Grains of wheat and community gleaning.
The reason to live and write,
Bake the bread and cook the meat;
Sit at the table and take your seat,
For those dear souls your yet to meet.
The reason to live and write,
Faith in season, now as clear as day;
All the treasures found along the way,
Skies and streams into rivers and bays.
The reason to live and write,
A pile as high as mountian heights;
The Northern stars and Artic lights,
The truth and dreams in which he delights.
The reason to live and write,
Focused now for future endeavours,
The castle and the wife still glimmers,
The food she eats and daily simmers.
Signed,
Tasty timing.
25 Seasons Of Time
The seasons of time and life,
Love a line and write it right;
The words in the poem and rhyme,
Reasons to live and not to die.
The seasons of time and life,
Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring;
Leaves are dropping, new life comes,
The hot and heat and freezing cold.
The seasons of time and life,
Years that come and go and pass;
To make the times and seasons last,
The treasured reasons of growing grass.
The seasons of time and life,
Trees that climb and go to the sky;
Wondering all the reasons why,
If I a man should see beauties eye.
The seasons of time and life,
Fathom the depths of sea and ocean;
Truth is but a treasured notion,
For all the love of fish that swim.
The seasons of time and life,
It is not mine but to question who;
Discovered me and longs for you,
But only desire dear what is true.
Signed,
Magnify the Lord.
26 Waiting In The Distance
Waiting in the distance,
The castle up there on the hill;
Climbing the windy path to the drawbridge,
Riding and then leading my trusty steed.
Waiting in the distance,
The damsel with her long flowing blond hair;
Hanging ourt of the castles tower,
Just to climb on up and rescue her.
Waiting in the distance,
The king sitting on his thrown;
In his flowing robe and gown,
Telling knaves and servants what to do.
Waiting in the distance,
A drink of cool water from the grail;
Refreshing life giving water of eternity,
After hot riding in the heat all day.
Waiting in the distance,
The bright sunlit skies of heaven;
Where God calls his knight to rest,
The challenge to be and have the best.
Waiting in the distance,
A bed to sleep in at night;
After a long weary ride to get to the castle,
The damsel to sleep beside and comfort him.
Signed,
Look for the signs.
27 At The End Of The Day
At the end of the day,
Riding along to home all the way;
Just to lay down his head,
A soft pillow and comfortable bed.
At the end of the day,
An evening feast of a meal;
The damsel to comfort him and feel,
Extraordinary circumstances, normally real.
At the end of the day,
Go to sleep and wake up again;
Beautiful damsel to make love to,
All the doubts and clouds difuse.
At the end of the day,
A love like heaven to see and do;
Climbing up to the sky to see God on high,
All the questions I just ask why.
At the end of the day,
The sun sets again and the night is here;
For a knight just to know exactly where,
As the earth turns around form here to there.
At the end of the day,
The world has changed and all things are new;
From the truth and knowledge of what we knew,
Towards the bright morning star of lovely blue.
Signed,
Dawn will come.
28 Somewhere To Lay His Head
Somewhere to lay his head,
If only he knew where it would be;
From the dark nights in the forest,
To sleeping by the river bank.
Somewhere to lay his head,
God only knows where he will lead;
For people to take the trouble and simply read,
The way of chivalry, away from greed.
Somewhere to lay his head,
He is on a quest for the truth;
The rest he needs all living proof,
A room with a view under a shady roof.
Somewhere to lay his head,
Suffering hard just to find a bed;
Lieing next to the damsel in which he wed,
Dreaming of heaven and beauty beyond belief.
Somewhere to lay his head,
A soft feather down mattress and fluffy quilt;
Relaxing pillows and filled with duck feathers to,
If only he knew just where he was led.
Somewhere to lay his head,
Following the compass somewhere over the mountains;
Where the sun leads him, that is where he must go,
But where to rest his head, well really God only knows.
Signed,
Sleeping somewhere.
29 Walking A Tight Line
Walking a tight line,
While the day is fine;
A path that tells the truth,
The lie of life in time.
Walking a tight line,
Where righteousness meets love;
And beauty is where truth there really is,
On the road to surfdom and freedom.
Walking a tight line,
Telling people the way it is,
Like the waves breaking upon a beach,
Understanding what you learn in order to teach.
Walking a tight line,
Like a rope across a chasm;
No chance of wandering or having a spasm,
Stupidity and silliness often mixed.
Walking a tight line,
The road to heaven and God;
Things in the light, nothing odd,
Fishing for men, leave your rod.
Walking a tight line,
Shoe laces done up well;
Buckle of your belt up right,
Where your heading, set your sights.
Signed,
Vision cared.
30 Straight To The Top
Straight to the top,
Start at the bottom;
Getting where your going,
The mountian you are knowing.
Straight to the top,
Climbing to the top of the hill;
Its a long hard road and journey,
As if by chance you took a flight.
Straight to the top,
Because you did not stop;
Nor did you buy at the shop,
The floor below you used the mop.
Straight to the top,
Very hard the brilliant high;
The beautiful heavenly meaning sky,
As if the pilot taught you to fly.
Straight to the top,
Where God is sitting you have to stop;
Give an account of your life of what you have done,
Life is not all joy and having fun.
Straight to the top,
Running hard to meet the deadlines;
A glass of beer and a few red wines,
When you get there you drop in despair.
Signed,
It is not all that easy.

Mixed up in a bag of fruit,

All we can do is have lunch.

With carvings and engravings on the rock.

FINAL WORD
Unarmoured
How vunerable we can feel to be when we are stripped of everything that we call a pleasure of a treasure. Unarmoured so to speak, everything taken from us that we treasured as our valuable possessions. That is how it is sometimes with finishing off a story or a book that has been told as a tale or fable. The reason that the book was written might not appear obvious as it was intended but as it works out along the way it has become and appeared insightful and different at least in what was said or turns and comes out of it. it is all a matter of transperant beauty in the creation of the stories intent and meaning, depicted as a knight's life or whatever the subject was created to be. How vunerable we can become by opening up our heart and mind to speak of truth as it seems relevant to us. Stripped of all worth and excitement but that is the brilliance of the work being done. Everything revealed just as it was put down and whether it was intended to be right or religous or truthful is wholey in the eyes of the perceiver. Believing that it was all worth the time spent and in the judgement of the readers eyes worth reading It a fascination and an interest to me to recieve any or get any feedback on the poetical verdict on the whole picture of the story of the verses written. Working it all out is just a part of the love of writing and being unarmoured so to say is just the reitieration of the literature being exposed in its naked realness. I am grateful to you the readers for coming along for the ride in another book and I hope that you have found A Knights Life both fascinating and rewarding, even though it was done over about a six month time period, the books itself has timeless values and endless worth in the meaning of history and those time periods from which it is depicted. Thanks again for taking the time to follow or read the work and I look forward to catching up with you again in the next book where we look at the romantic side of Parsifal the medieval knight. God bless and enjoy the coming story of what now seems like seeking an endless tale of adventure in medieval times. Darel.
