Errant Knight Christopher W. Thomas (tristram@erols.com) dnb-as1s55.erols.com Tues, March 18, 1997 at 7:23AM |
Once upon a time there was an errant knight who travelled the world in search of love and good fortune. Many times he found love, and many times he lost it as easily as he found it. At those times, the conflicted feelings within him caused him to lose touch with his reality, and he did things he later regretted. Some years later, after he made a vow to change, these things started to catch up with him. But since they were long past - the knight decided to go on with his life and pursuit of love and happiness. One day, a concerned fellow asked him why he continued to put himself out there so people could continue to throw sticks and stones at him, to which the knight replied ...
If I continue to run -
they will hunt me down and bury me alive.
If I stand and face them, and show them my clean hands -
all they can do is -
kill me ...
