[bodytext] => Light penetrates the darken paths Of the scarred grounds of an English battlefield Home to men, in pursuit of a king’s dream, To only suffer the wrath of another. But fearlessly they marched on To death seemingly, but unknown Archers fired; Chariots rode, Until blood masked their shields And Chain mail clashed no more. Then Out of the darkness, into the light Stood nothing more then a mere foot soldier Although proceeded in battle with many, He returned home alone. He closes his eyes in remembrance Of the remains of once was And silently cites a prayer, to the merciful God above. Upon opening his eyes he stands there straight With the victorious spirit of those before Then darkness recedes, trenches dissipate, Leaving signs of a war no more. Gradually…….He too, fades, A mere figment of imagination. Long lives the king he echoes, As I announce checkmate.
