The Queen of the Heavens... I'll submit...

The Queen of the Heavens... I'll submit...

A Poem by 23rdstar

I'll submit
Not to the law or to the ways of men
I'll submit to love
Giving free will grace to it's notes
It music, it's prose, sights, smells, tastes
And remind myself
That it comes and goes
But down through the ages
It's won the day with all flags flying
And sometimes just by walking away with it's arms crossed
A smile unto like that of a fool pasted to it's face

I'll submit
And drop to bended knee
To love
The queen of the heavens
My mouth quieted for once
And soul sure that there is a place where we can find rest
Not looking down as a slave
But looking forward as freed man
By the taste of life and love

She has had many mouths, many sets of eyes
Hands a pleny, she has praised, and scorned
Struck out in defense, and struck me for being a a*s
For s**t talking, and being unthinking, unfeeling
Only to wipe away the tears of this fortunate son
Later on and know that to her command
And to her's alone i'll submit

She has watched the great fall
And the small rise up against the huge
At her hand and her whispered command
Queen of the Heavens
Lady of Mercy and Light
Blazing eyes, kind hands, healng touch
To you i'll submit
On bended knee...
