A Message for a Queen


Press play before reading. Salute.

(A lone voice whispers)



Spellbound as I know 

You're coming home to me


Take solace as I once did


Now that you've left them all behind


For you'll always burn 

Like a bright candle 


In the nucleus of their souls


Memories


Hidden in all the tiny fabrics of their minds


That now

At this sad moment


They'll all pray to find


Some now tragic

Yet all still magic


For rare candles like you

My Elizabeth 


Burning bright 

Like a beacon of tranquillity and peace


Ready to explode

In the middle of your soul


Especially at night


Always gives you the strength 


To push back the Darkness 

And try to keep control 


As you cross Life's 

Many uneven roads


Welcome my only Queen



To the Wetlands of The Great In-Between
