You words wash over me, like clear spring water.
You cleanse my soul of  trouble and of strife.
Were you once friend, son, lover or a daughter?
Once long  ago.....within another life?

It seems that I have known you, friend, forever.
I know your smile. I know your handsome face.
I cherish moments when we are together.
Two likened souls. Within the dark of space.

Did we once ride a Dragon to his lair?
Did we once sit at midnight in his nest?
Did we once seek the Universe through prayer?
To find it then, through trial and through test.?

These questions though must stand without an answer.
Some mysteries are better left untold.
Suffice it then to say, I was your Maid Sir.
In days when Knights were strong and true and bold.

I leave you now, to ponder on my vision.
To ride your steed, with lance and sword and knife.
Look kindly on my words, without derision.
Farewell good Knight. And travel well through life.
