A Nobel Knight's Wish

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 3, 2024

By Ruchika Pradeep



I’m a solemn knight

Oh the battlefield is such a poor sight

Weary of the endless fight

I now embark on the healing journey tonight

which feels so right

In the lap of mother nature

I have confided my heart fears

In pristine rivers close my tears

for the haunting memories of blood smears stills seem to pierce

my fragile soul that

loathes ruthless warriors

who are cruel and fierce

What use are the silver swords

to me

that which ignores an innocence's plea

the cruel spears show no mercy

I despise such a victory

that's derived from from such rivalry

wars are just chains of slavery

I long to go to the abode of bright stars

I wish to belong to the land of gentle flowers

I desire to seek refuge in the heavenly showers

The crystal palace of glass

Seems to have healed my wounds and scars

The rose petals must decorate the way

Rainbows must colour my lifeless day

With the butterflies I long to play

And I dream of singing under the golden sun ray

I must dance to my heart’s rhythm ,

This is all I ask and pray

Long gone are the clouds so grey

Comfort of the gentle wind and the soothing bird’s melody

Magical rhythm of the rain’s symphony

Whispering woods bring serene harmony

Evening holds errie secret yet unfolds divine beauty

This makes me forget the old days of melancholy
