A Moment Upon the stairs

He paused to say goodbye
As he was not able to stay
The king had called upon him
And his cavalry unit
To fight the invading force
On the southern islands
She could only utter a sigh
She couldn't meet his gaze
A heart breaking within
Both minds lucid
Aware of the threat of the invader Norse
This moment silent
As love needs no words

(painting by Frederic William Burton)
