Black Knights Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Black knights roaming the skies, looking for conquests to add
to their lives.

Touching parts of knowledge brought to the foreground, trying
to make sense of it through words.

Not knowing that understanding comes to light within the mind
before it can be thought out in words.

Following it's inherent desires, traveling roads to anywhere,
finding only it's beginnings.

Not taking time to realize the light of knowledge illuminates
your mind when you settle down amid your inner quiet.

That's where thoughts lie dormant until you go within and
awaken them in wonder.

Seeing before your eyes, ideas formed before they're placed
in words - even before vocabulary can be pinned on them.

Black knights once roaming the skies, looking for conquests to
add to their lives, finding nothing, knowledge lying idly inside their minds fast asleep.
