I went for a walk
I was enjoying the summer breeze
smiling as I watched
the birds sing in the trees

Then in the corner of my eye
I saw an old man
he was just sitting there
with his head in both hands

Puzzeled by his demeanor
I approched and asked
are you ok sir
are you reflecting on your past

Slowly he looked up
he stared in my eyes
I was almost overwhelmed
it was like he was reading my mind

He opened his mouth
and he began to speak
I knew you would come
you are the one that I seek

He said
I am the last Knight
and with the edge of my sword
I have made wrongs right

As you walk your path
there will come a day
the voice of wisdom will speak
listen to her, she will help you find your way

Then he stood up
he looked so familiar
it was like seeing my reflection
when I look in a mirror

He told me things
that I would begin to see
but take heart and don't worry
because this is ment to be

Part one

The old man, Part two

I was awe struck by his story
and what he revealed to me
for this man seem to know
my entire history

He reached to his side
and unsheathed his sword
he said kneel down Daniel
for this is to be yours

The sword seemed to shimmer
it had a soft amber glow
I could sense that it's purity
was as white as snow

He turned the sword around
and placed it in my right hand
within an instant
in another place I did stand

As I held this sword
I felt the power it possessed
my heart began pounding
inside my chest

I looked around
for the old man that was there
but I couldn't find him
he wasn't anywhere

The air began to crackle
the sword seemed to come alive
my spirit began to float
up into the sky

I heard voices
mysteries were revealed
things I didn't know
were no longer concealed

In the next instant
I was back where I first stood
the old man had wrote his name
on a pieace of driftwood

He had traveled from the future
to me in the past
I finally understood
who he was a last

Daniel... This really rips me a new one, lol. Terrific... Taking a close look at this, and I'll let you know more thoughts...
But this captures the imagination... carries the feeling, and leaves one lingering for more...
Just a few thoughts on the posts.
