Enchanted Grail Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Enchanted grail
The palace
Was distant by far
From city
And town
The monastery
No less

Ahi! To be in to
Those places
And
Those times was
The spirit of adventure itself
Walking!

From height to height
Over or little less below
The clouds of price
Flying
Below a storm
Though winter's edge
Be brewing.

And fires
Crackle
Crackle
In the chimney singing!

For time be life and
Life be time
And in those nocturnal sovereignties
The Olympians of ancient days
And their households of
Satyrs, nymphs and Graces
Thriving
Thriving into the night
Before yet another Dawn
Bring hopes and tragedies to
The Mother Earth
