The Queen's Court

My Court is a battle

As a Queen, I will endure

so my kingdom thrives

 

Standing in gardens

My treasure trove of colours

that never fails me

 

Flowers bow gently

The winds make the tall trees sing

Rivers flow calmly

 

Scents drift in the light

I hear its sweet melody

As I stand with pride

 

A Queen now enters

The daughter of Spring and Deer

The tender Queen Fawn

 

Who smiles so sweetly

Fragrant, soft-spoken and kind

With deer by her side

 

Another Queen comes

The angel with a kind heat

The gentle Queen Sue

 

Who has healed her wounds,

broken her chrysalis

And spreads her warm light

 

Another Queen comes

Wise and soon to be married

Joyful Queen Donna

 

Who goes with the flow

A talented haikuist

with a flower crown

 

Another Queen comes

She who is always giving

The giving Queen Kim

 

Whose crown's a halo

And her words, so spiritual

fragrant and calming

 

Another Queen comes

Who has birds singing so sweet

The sweet Queen Robin

 

Who is a true joy

Whose words are just like music

A kindred spirit

 

And now a King comes

Who is very much like me

The great King Omni

 

Who is an artist

Who is both seen and unseen

Very much like me

 

Another King comes

Ever so mischieveous

The playful King Paul

 

Such a playful tease

He who makes me smile and laugh

And looks out for me

 

Another King comes

His heart is strong and tender

The wise King Edmund

 

Who writes for himself

Speaks so well of others and

how vital love is

 

To these Kings and Queens

Thank you for your melodies

You are golden souls

 

For now I do see

The true power of my quill

My ink is gold too

 

I write out my life

My pain, my fears and my loves

And my achievements

 

I must stay above

I will walk with my head up

and ignore the bad

 

People will hate me

But I will thicken my skin

to be a true queen

 

I will empower

And give you all your respects

and never denounce

 

I am a true Queen

With a Court that is growing

steadily but strong

 

The reign of Queen Lyn

Who is sensitive and shy

It has just begun
