In another realm live two light hearted fools
traveling an endless sea of wandering dreams
now, these two set sail in search of rare jewels
along with a rhyming cat they make quite a team
late at night side by side gazing the infinite sky
reading from a book The Ballads of Robin Hood
watching shooting stars,
Truedessa softly sighs
dreaming of
faraway places blue magical woods
twinkling of an eye slipping into the land of nod
waking to find themselves in a forest of
green
captain carrying a quiver & bow, lightning rods
Truedessa,
grinning new land picturesque scene
thunderous sound approaching galloping hooves
rowdy cheers of bravery echo, distant breeze
Truedessa yielding
a sword, be ready to move
Captain Pat bow in
hand, standing with ease
now, that spotted
cat he went on the prowl
through shadowy trees , looking to explore
swooSH, from above, hoot of a white owl
oh no, trio
discovered, as merriment roared
WHO travels
Sherwood Forest friend or foe
step out from the shadows, show your face
Captain Pat declares " who wants to know"
WE travel with Robin Hood, this is our place
stealing from the
rich to help feed the poor
we are outlaws, balancing the king's scale
pulling our bows until our fingers are sore
no money for taxes,
peasants thrown in jail
sun rapidly sets forest appears a bit ominous
lurking images glaring black eyes of night
battle will be fought, some arrows poisonous
Captain Pat declares " tis a battle we will fight"
Truedessa senses
footsteps drawing near
SSHH,
SShh
sshh
forest men quickly blend with thick trees
adrenaline rushing, well-founded fear
quickening breath tremors of unease
suddenly, an arrow flies through the night
TWISH, TWANG, WOOSH, THUNK
our allegiance to Robin Hood we fight
metal against metal deafening sharp clang
Truedessa an
expert at sword play
swiftly swings her
blade left to right
Captain slinging arrows get out of his way
fighting against Nottingham, finest knights
crazy spotted cat clawing away with glee
men disappearing into an iron grey haze
green hooded man,
fighting a band of three
Captain quickly to the rescue his eyes ablaze
CRASH, bang..CLANK, clink...
lunging forward sudden attack on Pat
Truedessa's sword
delivers a blunt blow
knocking the attacker down with a splat
hiding behind high clouds moonlight glows
ringing through lush forest, last swords clang
Captain Pat smiles milady " I owe you for that"
round of three cheers from Robin Hood's gang
hurriedly, gathering riches left behind, filling hats
Robin Hood raises his battle sword, "justice for all"
men chanting loyal praises, long live Robin Hood
Captain Pat & Truedessa together standing tall
justice for all is something that they understood
twinkling of an eye, slipping out of the land of nod
two lighthearted fools slowly stir under starlight
groggy, in thought they compose their own ballads
to the berth below they go until morning sunlight
tucked within the pages on deck a medieval coin
treasure found on the path where two roads join..
