A Queen I met

She is the queen among the queens

The heart of the broken

The light ready to light lost paths

From her, I learnt love.

She came bearing the bright flames

And burnt my soul utterly

She was paradise in hell

The peace that my soul longed for.

I have journeyed the wilderness

The oceans and rivers

Deserts, valleys and hills

I have searched for hope.

What a queen I met

A mother, sister and friend

Beauty and elegance

So dark, so lovely.
