A knight and a dreamer
Met upon the road
The knight of course
Was brave and true of heart
Honor and Duty
His sacred vows
The dreamer
Head in the clouds
Gazed upon flowers and blue skies
And had a poet's heart
The journey to the next town was long
And so they talked as they walked along
The knight of his hopes
And the dreamer of making it real
They talked and laughed
They sang songs
And helped each other along the road
Their souls were kindred and it was good
After many days of walking
They came upon a fork in the road
Which choice to make?
They stood, uncertain
The signpost was clear
One road, to the town and safety
The other, to a place unknown
Where hopes become truth and dreams become reality
In the end, they went to the town
The knight, because honor dictated it be so
And the dreamer, out of fear
And so they walked on
Their choices weighed heavily on them
And so, although they both continued on
They were no longer kindred
And so their journey together was done
At times each would think back
To those days upon the road together
And each wanted to blame the other
But they knew the truth, each must own their own choices
So they held the joy of the remembered journey
In their hearts
And never forgot the lessons learned
The day they took the safe road
As the years went by
The knight came to understand
At times integrity to self and to love and truth
Must trump even honor
And the dreamer learned
That pretty visions
Can only become real
With risks taken and work done
The most important lesson of all, though
Was to cherish the gift of each and every soul met upon the road
We know not the number of days
That we shall have the joy of walking together
