winding up
from medieval tymes
of gallantry and roses
comes a melody

of lighthearted
warm-feeling levity
and satins and silks
for the carefree

with the touches
of a true-hearted gallant knight
with shining armour
on horse of white

rousing hearts
crashing wills pageantry spectacle
waving colours
death fights gradual

pounding hoofs
spears held high principle challenges needs
gathering dust settles
as armour bleeds
