Gallery Reading Room

Queen of Light
you have spoken from age to age
to poets and minstrels,
          prophets and sages
                    in languages heard and unheard
they have both worshiped and feared you
          loved and desired you
                    held you and cherished you
and you blessed them with the power of yourself
warming their lives and filling their hearts
giving to them that which they sought most
                                              yourself

and in giving yourself to them
you inspired them
they sang songs to you
     they wrote words of love to you
          they created cities and nations for you
all for just one glimpse of you
                                   of your Golden Face
                                         the face of Light
                                         the face of Love
                                                             your face

a face that spoke not of hate
     a face that only spoke of love
this was what they sought
          what they gave their lives for
                    what they pledged their hearts to
                              you were their lives
and you loved them
          for they only made you brighter

and as you gathered them into yourself
they knew the love of the ages
          the love they had sought for so long
                    they found it in you
you sought it in them
     for only the most noble could gather in you Light
only they, the pure of heart, could find you
          treasure of all life
               Gold of all time

Queen of Light
again we gather here in your presence
to sing of you
          to praise you
                    to love you

                                      Light of Life
                                      Light of Love
                                      Bless us all
                                      Here above

Light of Love
Light of Peace
May your love
Never cease

                                      Light of Peace
                                      Light Divine
                                      May our Light
                                      Always shine


hear our song
Queen of Light
for without you

                                                                       we are Dark
                                                                       and alone

                                                                                               and lost

To think that you might know this person that holds that power is awesome...I do believe, Sven, you found her on another plane...she was most likely a Greek Goddess, was she not? This, Sir...is a welcome addition to your Gallery Reading Room, and worthy of all libraries for those who shall come in to read...

Well done!...

I hope to spend more time here reading.
This is a wonderful place to begin.
You use a format that is pleasing to the eye.
Your verse is indicative of a talented poet.

I can tell the "Queen of Light" is a good friend of yours. She shines down on you
from high above giving you the ability to
write in honor of her. Sir, as always you
can write of love and make us feel life is
still good.

Sven,
   Your depth of emotion brings color and beauty to this otherwise black and white world.  Your poem focuses on a Queen, a paragon of beauty.  I see the beauty of the heart of the King who penned it.  You are terrific!
