Knight

Pompous and arrogant,
I come to you at night,
in those longest hours,
when time stands silently by.
I’m ominous and sinister,
but softer than I appear.
I come to you cloaked in darkness,
but fear me not,
for I am here to cradle you
safely in my arms,
and guide you quietly
into another realm.

I’ll take your hand and walk with you,
I’ll wrap you in my warmth.
I will protect you,
for I am knight.
I wield my glinting sword
against the dragons of your dreams,
wearing silver armor
on my great white steed
as I race against time
to the edge of reality.
I am the ghost
of every memory you’ve ever had,
shimmering down from
the midnight skies above.

For I am…
