Queen

 She wanders through groves of shades, 

A Queen alone among Her people. 

A smile here, a clasped hand there, 

A pat on the cheek, 

A hug for the smallest child. 

A measure of comfort

To those who grieve 

For lost opportunities, 

Lost loves, 

Lost life. 

Hail Persephone, 

Queen of the Underworld.
