Queen's Quest

The image is taken from Pixabay. 

Ruling over the vast lands

Sitting high up on the hills

In a palace of rocks and boulders

Was a woman of beauty and valor. 

With a heart of purest gold

Smoky eyes shining with wisdom 

Words of order and command 

She cast a spell of fertility in her land.

Years passed as the crops bloomed

Laughter echoed, smiles glittered

Riches overflowed even as her heart sighed

For her deepest desire lay buried.

Knights, princes, and men of courage

Danced attendance in her court 

Yet, she felt no flutter in the folds of her heart

Yearning for the man from the sun.

The rays of his love kissed her skin 

Warming her senses in the cold dark nights

Promising to meet soon as summer beamed

For he was the Queen's quest.

Note:
Q invariably stands for Queen. I found the picture when I was searching for a cover for a story. I knew I had to use it somewhere.
Here it is.
