- Kingdom Lost -
Where she stands
a servants hands
have strewn the floor
with rushes soft
and flowers four
and through the glass
bright swaying grass
that drifts in sun
so blinding white
that there is none
who keep their sight
when gazing out
upon the hill
with creaking mill
where wheat is ground
and made to bread
and sparrows sound
when none is said
and over fields
where soldiers kneeled
before the King
and glory searched
so they could sing
as on they lurched
in ragged line
for desperate sign
of kingdom lost
and courage found
and human cost
as horses pound
into the ground
of where she stands
a servants hands…
