Merlin

Dedicated to Terry

Merlin

Chronicles on dusty page
Throve Merlin, erudite mage
Alchemy twas utmost upheld
Era when Camelot dwelled

Ancient tomes foretell
Eons ago knights excel
Endured dragons and witches brew
Brave twas those who slew

Mighty twas wisdoms allot
King Arthur assuredly sought
Morgana conspired to postpone
Rightful heir to kingdoms throne

Battle raged betwixt evil and good
Mayhem reeled where peace once stood
Dispersed all over hostile land
Both light and dark expand

Thunder rumbled, gods inclined
Withdrew magic from mankind
As wizardry subtly degraded
Powerless, Merlin too faded

Ahhh poetry of the dark ages given new light. Such romance as can be drawn from these old fables is certainly alive in your lines.
