~

wolves so strangely silent

wind howls in the moonlight

old castle stands bleak and quiet

solitary warrior monk stands defiant

guarding alone watching for first daylight

chivalric vigil is his honour and his birthright

alluring lady, elegant, spiritual, exquisite, slight

patiently waits for his return with dawn’s early light
