excalibur
excalibur
did it occur to anyone to leave the sword in the stone
let it stand as a testimony to the capricious will of god
that only magic would believe a blade of a king alone
the sweating swearing ceremony shown to be a fraud
why the sword is embedded or why the stone chosen
legends speaking in traditions as myths talking in truth
the pages of history shredded reality has been frozen
to not allow for any additions losing the signs of proof
a hand is placed upon the hilt to be joined by another
in thunderous silence moving the hearts pound within
encased in the skin of guilt from the murdered brother
the moment of success proving the acceptance of sin
time will wear stones away as iron will be slow rusted
in grains of sand on display and bones long encrusted

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
