A Knight In Tarnished Armor

A knight in tarnished armor
Rides through the dawn
Barely visible within
The glistening mists of Avalon

His head held high
Despite his weariness
His horse prancing proudly
Despite the long journey

A broken lance
A missing sword
A shield darkened
By fire and smoke

No one to witness
His triumphant return
His honor reflected
Solely in his eyes
