The Dying Queen

This is a poem inspired by one of the images from Kevin’s No Theme Thursday (03/21/24).

In her still, grey hall she waits alone.

She has lost her realm, her healthy lustre.

Her skin is pale like ashen stone.

She sighs, and finds she cannot muster

the heart to sing with her winged friends.

Pale petals fall upon the floor.

She thinks that callous Death intends

to make her wait before his door.
