Dreamer Of Time

By Malcholm Dark

Who has seen the majestic sanded empire
When Pharaoh still ruled its' boundaries?
A land yet unscathed by the hand of time
Its' people enchanting and so magnificent!

Who has seen the monoliths erected into pyramids
Tips piercing upward through the roof of the sky?
Great stone sphinxes, omnipotent, watch over a kingdom
And pharaoh is content--The Nile flows boundless!

--Somewhere within the travels of our mind
rides the crusader, a dreamer of time.

Who has seen the roaming hills of another king
Where his mighty falcons soar an English sky?
An armored man astride his stalwart horse
Tests his steel within the limits of battle!

Who has seen an intrepid castle along the river's edge
The sounds of trumpets, a clash of knights?
A spilling of blood, the pain of death, a victory cry
The battle won ...a breath was taken!

--Somewhere within the travels of our mind
rides the crusader, a dreamer of time.

Ride crusader, ride! Pound the beaten paths of our minds
Unlock the treasures from the past.
Smile dreamer, smile! Revere the spectacles lost by time
For they shall be glorious!

Fitting title. You open the passageway to a dreamland, one that has seen bloodshed..
