A fallen Knight

This was written for the firefighters that we lose on a daily basics.

 

Slowly I round the bend

The scene hit me like a brick

Lights flashing, sirens blearing

Smoke every where!

 

Where was the beast to sleigh?

Where was it hiding?

In what dark corner is it skulking?

Fear not! For your knight is here!

 

With shield and elemental sword,

I surge forward, pushing hard!

Searching for the beasts victims

Clearing them from the beasts Rage!

 

Finally I come upon its lair, hot and smoldering

All things ashen, a sight of such despair

I have been here many a time

And still here I stand to tell the tale!

 

With sword I strike, a hiss replies

Behind my shield I stand strong

Protected from the wrath of the beast!

 

It roars and hisses as the battle is fought

Giving away to me, it doesn’t stand a chance

Suddenly my luck changes, I stumble & fall

Sensing weakness, the beast advances!

 

Slashing, roaring spitting fire all-around!

My shied is melting my sword is drying out

Is this my final hour? Are my lights to go out?

With a last ROAR, I will my sword to flow.

 

Slowly I round the bend

The scene before me is so heart wrenching

The victims of the beast line thousands deep

Now this knight too is to join his brothers, never more to fight!

I must admit till the end I am forever hoping against hope that he will rise to fight another day, but it is true that all good things do not last forever and yes, "Knights" do fall. Very well written with a nice twist in the end that has one on the edge of your seat till the very end. Nice job love!

Very cool, not to mention that as I was reading it, I was listening to Dragon Force! Good imagery and a sad ending.
