Yes, it was that time again, it was tugging within, me, it’s just something you know
I took along my sword, and a mace, I did not know who or what lurked within its midst
I was off on my way, well out of that dreaded smell of the horses’ stall
I ventured ever forward to the monk who lives upon the grassy knoll
As ventured out, just past the nearby town, I heard the call to morning mass, by the church bell’s toll
It was then that it struck once again, I go there that my well-being - he may mend
All the while, I pondered just how deeply this man moves me, and against him, myself, no I cannot
defend
He seems to have a way that is able to reach inside and rattle things loose
I must, somehow, not let him know,…I’ll hide things…oh…what’s the use
It was just by mid-day that I stopped along the way to take a break from the saddle,
I also needed to rehearse myself and not see him and begin to prattle
Swooning all around me, taking all cares, gathering, as though leaves, whisking ‘em away with it, putting
my mind at ease
I soon succumb to my weariness and fell a sleep
The intended meeting with the monk…in a day…yes, in a day I may keep.
Peace,
