The Ivory King


The inner light of diamonds seen

Saphires  of the clearest blue

The different shades of emeralds green

gemstones glow in every hue

Gold so beautifully wrought 

Silver wire wrapped in light

The best craftsman money bought

A crown that shines in the night

A sword of fire, fiercely made

Helmet of the finest steel

Suit of armor to match the blade

Brings the dragons down to heel

A wizened and gentle soul

Slow to anger, quick to sing

Fills the beggars empty bowl

Thus describes the Ivory King
