Merlin's Lament
Merlin’s Lament
by Todd DiasThe Sword lies beneath the altar,
but it is not mine to wield.
I guard it for the one
who is to come.
The future is mine to see,
but still I am filled with
uncertainty.
Can I really teach
what I have been taught?
The fear of childhood,
the ostracism of adolescence,
the pressure of adulthood,
all weigh upon me as I wait
Looking into my pool of water,
I see him and his glory.
My god tells me to be patient,
but my calling makes me anxious,
and I would to be ready for it today
