Great Shining Heaven
queen of the Kami
may we always feel
your warmth
and live in your light

through your Shintai,
the mirror of your spirit,
may we see
the inner beauty and brilliance
that abides in all of us
just as you did
when Uzume brought you
back from hiding

rising sun
and mother of royalty
continue to watch over us
and unite us all
in your light

As one who enjoys researching to bring forth knowledge through poetry, I am enjoying YOUR research, Sir! But do not I am not one bit biased to your subject matter! Not at all! And she had a horrible brother, did she not?

Enjoyed this very much!
