Table Round or What Have You

x

Something spiritual

Reminding us

That with us

Is the source

Of virtue

x

The old word for truth and value

Code of conduct

Worthy sometimes

Of self-sacrifice

x

Something good

Something clear

To understand and act

(transact)

x

A circle of faith

And goodness

Not for a holy grail,

Certainly not

For slaying dragons

Leaving them to fly above

Their homes

Or lie inside

In distant mountains

x

We have things to go for here

In valley lives,

Humanly quests

To help without romance

To dive in where it’s poor

Unthreaded

Trashed

x

And so to save the world;

Chivalrous

Or ill-mannered

Trying

(or trying)

Doesn’t matter
