Who Does It Serve? Dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022

WHO DOES IT SERVE?

 

Who does it serve?

You ask me

Well, let me tell you

It is rather like

Taking up the Cross

I am on my own personal crusade

It can be sometimes lonely

When you are compared

To a holy fool

In a unique army of one

But the sting in those words

Might just be a fair assessment

God knows it is sometimes cruel

But you could be right

After all, it did not stop

Joan of Arc and her angelic rule

I will not let false words stop me

There is proof in my actions

If you care to look

Not just in the words I write

But in the visual connections

Left like clues in a book

So who does the Grail serve?

Does it serve you or me?

The truth is that it serves everyone

Open your eyes and see

 

 

The unspoken partnership between faith and sovereignty is the deep bond that keeps that country and its people from becoming a wasteland. It was always the Fisher King’s responsibility to protect the Grail, as told in the many tales of the Grail Corpus.

 

This then, is why the Grail and its many meanings, has become a legacy to uphold for those who seek and follow the Grail.

 

I have loved and followed the Grail for much of my life. I wrote this poem about two weeks ago. It seemed fitting to me, to release this work today.

 

God Bless The Queen,

Long Live The King.

 

This image was taken within Glynde Church, East Sussex, UK, and this particular Grail, came into my world in 2019 and changed my life.
