• Your Galahad

    I was your champion
    Your champion knight
    Seated at your Siege Perilous
    However, it wasn’t enough
    Inside I was a coward

    The anger was there
    The urge to fight was strong
    To be your Galahad
    An honor

    Nevertheless, I did nothing

    Not a sound
    Not peep
    Not word

    I stood there
    Wait. Did I bother stand?
    No
    I sat
    I sat and watched
    I watched you struggle
    I left my king to fight alone

    You sat too
    Remember?
    The passive one you are
    But you of warrior blood never sit for long
    You fought
    To posses what was yours

    I apologize, dear king
    Am I sore?
    Yes
    Defeat…
    Taste bitter
    I failed to defeat your enemies
    An occurrence that won’t happen again

    I am Sir Galahad
    Seated at your Siege Perilous

    To rise to the challenge I shall

    Never again to watch you struggle
