When I arrived at court,
I expected, no feared,
The king and queen to be at deaths door
However, to my surprise,
I found them both very much alive
The king was gruff,
Full of frowns and forgetfulness
He never spoke unless spoken to
The queen often spoke her mind in measured words
Loving, fearful, angry and kind
Gentle was the royal egress,
As the handmaids came and went
The king and queen slept and read,
Turning in each page waking thoughts and dreams
They came no more to court,
But held fast with guests in the inner chambers
At court were royalty, courtiers and knaves
I was fortunate enough to dine
With princes and join in much merry making
Yet sadness was upon the kingdom,
The estates lay unkempt and the fields fallow
The pale of broken hearts veiled many a face,
But love and youth prevailed
With chirping birds in the treetops
To help create a sometime betterment
In dreams at rest.
