Between the rocks beneath a mountain
the calmest dark upon her chest
where eyes don't stare or fingers grasp
the sleeping queen, she rests.

"Oh, to be found in the shadows
by a prince of unknown grace.
To be taken to his castle
with the sun upon my face.

"Perhaps a farmer or a youth
then cleaned by ***** hands
and brought as a gift of wonder and awe
to a love in humbler lands.

"Perhaps an artist, -a troubled one
whose craft is life and duty.
Whose heart is filled with heavy burdens
and art is filled with beauty".

Tectonic plates, they rumble
she gives a lazy yawn
as a glimpse of light now reaches in
to reveal the naked dawn.

And with the dawn an arm extends
to lift her from her bed.
The bony fingers carry gently
the queen that never wed.

"Perhaps an unlucky homeless man
whose clothes are rags and tatters.
Whose sole possession is me, a diamond,
and I'll be all that matter".

In a village in the deepest jungle
a travler finds a treasure
in the hand of a homeless man
beyond all Earthly meassure.

He says: "Do you know what that rock is worth?"
The homeless says: "I can't,
I lost my sight in the war, you see
but she feels good in my hand".

And he worshipped her all his days
untill he passed away
and in his humble will he asked
she be placed in his grave.

Still she dreams, that sleeping queen
of princes, farmers and artisans.
But she always shines her brightest
when she dreams of the homeless man.
unedited, I'll get back to it later...
As I promised on the day I cried,
after first world and hundred of years it rained
as white to gold and green to blue
and thousand the suns it burned
as told to by voice the will of power to choose
it chose i did and called the name
of you as earth and heaven old a New the Jerusalem to be.
As I promised given from the sky
dressed as beautiful as the bride for the groom
accompanied by children the man
I chose to choose to flower a God the chair of king
a throne of roses and runes name divine
and mountains shield. As I promised your fathers once
as parted the sea and pharaons armies drowned
as mad and wild the rage and furious
the vengeance for my brothers you dared to tempt
away from me and poison hearts I am in love with.
As dear the man who loves his enemies
and hundred folds the meassure of few
and deep his plate for the day I cried
to night we laughed, man of love enough to
God to please: friend, take off your shoes
for holy the land. Eversince and forever.
God prophecy wisdom love truth universe
