Incubating The Dream (Arthurian Ode Part II) Arthur called for wisdoms guiding light to weigh Merlin’s claim of custodial good by soulful flight, through heavens height to a dream unveiled and understood. The mists of slumber subdued his mind bringing sleep to an unwitting king seeking sublime, through vision divine vetting a choice the angels would bring. Ethereal dreams descended to clear daunting doubts that humble the great holding him dear, the angels drew near painting the promise in Camelot’s fate. Arthur wove through visions, invested in stone quarried by masons who chiseled the gift that balanced Rome, his castle was home to sources and secrets chaliced in myth. Across the water, he saw the vine bright in a bride history would veil nurtured in signs, for a far distant time the grafted branch of an Arthurian Grail. Arthur saw the cause in high intent as righteous minds burnished the true through calamity sent, and good men bent knights would fight for a future he knew. And the leavening light from a heavenly fire scorched the hordes that plagued the way while he groomed the higher, in the right to aspire through destiny invested in earthly displays. Then emptiness fell like eternities edge leaving him wrapped in darkest dark weeping in pledge, his promise would hedge the future that Merlin was set to start. Rising in courage, and tearful regret he lifted exhausted to his morning quest upon this was set, the vows to be met with destinies’ bride on shores to the west. “With Merlin and bride, my forces shall combine the vision and purpose refined in my dreams I shall become fit, as my soul shall permit To protect the purpose of the Grail and her stream.” |

Robert,
I'm really out of my element with King Arthur and The Holy Grail/Knights of the Roundtable.
This keeps popping up on my list so I thought I'd at least try.
I like the, rhyming in third line of each stanza.Which carried the rhyme in the 1st/3rd line
And then also rhyme every other line all through.....you're a genius.
and to do it so it's almost unnoticed. You are the real magician as I see it!
You've put alot of work into this great piece.
King Arthur/the epitome of good against evil/ was told in a dream that he should wed Gwenevere, combining their vision and purpose.[for good!]
Your wording is almost of that era.Wisdom/veils/quest/destiny/dreams
I just visited your Arthurian land and it was wonderful.
A goblet of wine lifted to you,
Always your friend,
Dellena
