Deep beneath the waters
in the realm of Avalon
the Lady of the Lake
looks back thru time
the memories linger on
The Days of Camelot
of Arthur and the sword
Excaliber, protecting righteous knights
the balance is restored
in dreams and voices
that are calling from the past
from Merlin
from Lancelot
they’re just beyond her grasp
Lancelot, relieved of madness
raised in courtly love
taught the ways of knighthood
protector of her fragile son
Above the lake, in crystal cave
Merlin slumbers on
he visits her in nightly dreams
of magic scenes
where time and space are gone
into the memories
of spells and shadows cast
their clarity is fading
and now beyond her grasp
Merlin in the distant past
the lady as a child
she comes to Merlin as a boy
innocent and mild
a student of the magic arts
serenely she excels
her gender is revealed
implicit in her spells
with passing time, affection grows
ripens into love
imparted wisdom, safely shared
he longs for worlds above
a crystal cave they build together
bridging, binding souls forever
world of dreams
their meeting place
beyond earth’s grasp
he sleeps to wake
no time nor space
in gardens of their love.
Gazing thru the crystal waters
a distant glow increasing in its light
The Lady of the Lake
a memory awake-
-ening from long ago
benevolent delight
Drifting thru the dreaming patterns
the light becoming brighter than the sun
recognition grows
instinctively she knows, the growing light
beyond and deep inside are one
Rise above the waters
o’er the realm of Avalon
the Lady of the Lake
goes beyond time
no memories linger on
The days of Camelot
they fade into the light
a shadow of their origin
a deeper true reality
Delighting recognizing
love unlimited and pure
of Merlin
of Lancelot
all love that will endure
