The Tusker Queen
I SAW A PHOTOGRAPH OF AN INCREDIBLE MAJESTIC ELEPHANT TITLED "THE ELEPHANT QUEEN"!SHE HAD THESE INCREDIBLY LONG TUSKS THE LIKE OF WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN AND SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, I HAD TO WRITE ABOUT HER. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE HAS PASSED SINCE I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT HER BUT LOOK HER UP:THE ELEPHANT QUEEN OF KENYA!
I am..
Your Majesty! The Tusker's Queen..
I bequeath to you the world unseen.
I am God's rumination in the flesh..
and I leave this world to you in death.
Remember where I once did walk..
Giants destined by man to fall!
I am the Elephant Queen...
and I leave you all that I have seen.
The majestic that you know..
Is small compared to me and you can feel the rumble of my mirth in the voice of my low..
my deepest greetings in my girth
Feel free to bow or walk away,
Free to know that I have gone,
To the mightiest of all places,
To the safest of all spaces...
and I will miss you,
as you miss me. yet...
When you least expect,
You'll hear me in the thunder
and I will shower you with blessings..
Be convicted in my presence,
Consonant in my essence..
I am the Tusker Queen!

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
