Many a road had he travelled many a mountain climbed.
Many battles fought; though bloodied and broken he survived
Storms raged across the land, dark clouds hung heavy in the sky.
It was the time of darkness the time of fear
Fleeshes large as a hand fell cold and icy on his face
The suthering wind hunted through the great forests
No comfort could he find no welcoming door was open to him
Weary was he and alone but still he journeyed, forever in hope.
For what else could he do, it was the nature of his being, a grail held soul
Oh how he longed for a ****** blue sky, for the warmth of the golden sun
For a clear night; a shining moon in the firmament and stars like diamonds
With an aching heart for ever onward he journeyed; a never ending quest
Suddenly without warning the golden treasure was within his reach
From the time before; a Lady of grace of beauty beyond measure,
Light and laughter filled his world, filled his heart to overflowing.
He was again alive in the world, breathing now a fresher air
And falling oh yes falling, drowning in the blue green sea of her eyes
Yet soon did he come to know she would never be his to hold, to know
Never to feel the softest brush of her lips on his, nor the beat of hearts together
Kindness and a gentle touch, a loving friendship she would bestow on him
Which he accepted gladly but knowing never would he feel his love returned.
Yet he would love her for all that, for she had heard and understood his sorrow
Her bright smile and tender words had soothed the pain from his heart
And light again returned to his life, when first he saw the fair Elaine.
