As our day begins, so it ends
For those at the
Castle of Drachenfels.
Shadows overtake the landscape,
Blurring vision
But the trees witness all.
A river flowing innocently by
In the distance, unaware of
The battle that has commenced.
Amongst the wreckage
And ruin of previous kingdoms -
Time takes all.
Horses lie
At their masters' feet,
Combat's unsuspecting victim.
To any who had watched
From the castle's bridge,
The clanking of swords
And quickly silenced screams
Would not just live in the present.
A battle, nearly forgotten
By human history,
Stands for all to see,
Amongst a collage of other canvases.
