“QUEEN”
A Zenith...I've seen it
emanate from her source
A Queen, those vocals
stream thru souls
with such incredible force
Aretha...
Frankly, I'm less a smile
today...some say she moved
hearts in such powerful ways
As I attempt to withhold
these tears, I am as well
so so grateful for all those
years...Years of music,
songs that shaped a generation
A woman, the living embodiment
of inspiration...
God bless you for the gift you
were and are, the Queen forever
N' truly one of the brightest of
all of God's heavenly stars...

I'm sure Ahavati will agree
"A Zenith...I've seen it
emanate from her source
A Queen, those vocals

this is an incredible stanza chock full of wonderful rhymes.

Your thoughts and time here.
Not a word or second misspent in this poetic tribute.
Hail to the Queen!
Her memory lives on.
A lovely and heartfelt piece, Poe

Thank you, Poe. I've not been absent by choice, like a poetess here I much admire says, "Life takes me away", and it is people such as you that saddens me to miss my time spent here on DU.
Be well, my friend.

Keeping my eyes closed tight around your words, so my trembling of such an imagined moment, stays hidden from the world. :-)))) xoxo
