Kingdom

Imagine you were a king

This is our palace

This is our kingdom

See our wealth?

The dusk dances across our faces

A dazzling display of dappled jewels

We command the day to make way for the night

So our kingdom can be showered in stars

A thousand lights to bathe this throne of moss and bracken

A waltzing parade of a hundred dancers

Tread lightly across the needles that line our ballroom

Winged beauties bearing masks of white feathers

Glint their golden eyes to the night sky

They tango and turn against the grey velvet dresses

Of the gentle footed

Holding with a vice like grip

And as the golden hues of morning

Send our guests to their beds

We will reflect in the quietness of the day

On the revelry of the night

This is our palace

This is our kingdom

You are a king

With a crown of foliose lichen

Funny!! Good post

When I was young my Mom would hand me a pad and pencil and tell me to lay in the grass on my back looking up at tree branches and draw what I saw. This totally brought me back to that place <3

She sound awesome! I spend a lot of time looking up at the trees (and falling over).
