Dreams of Pageantry

I wrote this during a senior seminar I took in college called
"The Bible in Later Literature."

Running water, little laughing brooks,
Soaring skywards in a dream,
Unknown places, unknown times,
Full of mystery.

Sunshine brighter, cloudless summer skies,
Joyous revels in a hall,
Gilded goblets, voices sing
Tales of gallantry.

Grasses verdant, fields of flowers fair,
Tranquil holidays at sea,
Crimson roses, roaring hearths,
Sweet simplicity.

Spell-bound castles, love-enchanted lands,
Golden slippers at a ball,
Flowing tresses, knights of steel,
Dreams of pageantry.

Running water, love-enchanted lands,
Tranquil holidays at sea,
Gilded goblets, Holy Grail,
Quests for majesty.
