In My Kingdom
by Kathleen Vibbert

A voice streaks across wings
finds me
soothes me
new beginnings
arrive sculpted
visual



someone gifts me with stars
stones across a stage


I dance 
between paces.


Hear my footsteps? 



They find the ocean
and I receive a garment of sea-wools
blessed emeralds from a gallery 
where royal shimmers in eve.


My heart could soften here, 
I may stay here


to think on these things. 


My spirit bears the down 
of doves which accompanies me
through time.


Ah, my season
when he sun is no longer estranged
everything is changed
captured through threads, 
immaculate
inside my kingdom.
