The exile queen

 


Anointed with a rainbow often

After a sun sprinkled rain dries

With a butterfly as a silent harbinger

Of the myriad songs from skies

That echo echo her dream lit eyes

The queen smiles more often in throng

And avoids to stare upwards when alone

Fearing the tears will jerk out from wide cracks

To wash the royal scars and to somehow atone

The sin of dreaming when awake on throne.

A faint sigh now blossoms on her soul

Sometimes the exile brings a strange relief

It can only get better from here and now

A smile dances on her lips with a deep belief

That there is no fear of autumn to the last leaf.
