"Field
of Time"
Once
standing at the edge of eternity
Now
wandering across a lonely field
Yesterday's events are still here
Is that moonlight shining on a shield?
Am I walking where knights once stood
Stern at attention, awaiting commands?
Was this once a battlefield
Where kingdoms exchanged hands?
Did a prince once stroll here
Dreaming of his princess fair?
Was it once a church's holy ground?
Did a dragon breathe this same air?
History is only as perfect
As the writer of the tale
Fables and facts are always explained
Yet, your decision tips the scale
Too elusive to be sure
Too beautiful to discount
I wander this field of time
Seeing warriors on their mounts
Creatures no longer in existence
Also fill my eyes
Dreams you ask?
I'll say "Perhaps"
If so, I'll never wake to be surprised
