Bright knight



Gallopping over the fields
manes fluttering in the wind
the saddle empty
no one on her back

Somewhere in the distance
a mist is coming up
she rides straight at it
without any stop

Her rider on the floor
the branch took him down
totally unconscious
no one around

His wife starts to miss him
she organizes a search
after a while they find him
and bring him into church

A doctor comes to examine him
says sorry and shakes his head
I find this really heart to tell
but he does not longer live

His wife cries and mumbles
what a blessing in disguise
right here in Fathers house
that saves a bit of time

Later on she came home
the widow was really pleased
told her that the job was done
and rewarded her with hay

Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
