Written By Scott L.

In lands afar where time would stay,

There stood the courts of Camelot’s way;

Where quiet right held pride at bay,

And stilled the noise of bold display.

A silent stone, a waiting blade—

No hand of might could make it fade;

The rightful king shall draw the stone,

So whispered fate in ancient tone.

They came with strength, with claim, with name,

Yet left in silence, just the same;

Till one unknown, with quiet art,

Drew forth the steel with steady heart.

Then from the lake in silver light,

Lady of the Lake rose into sight;

She placed within his hand, unknown,

Excalibur—a truth to own.

One sword reveals what lies within,

The other calls the soul to begin;

So stands the king, by earth and wave—

With what is drawn, and what was given.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
