Queen Tamar

She had a sword
To cut of the heads
Of subjects not fitting

She has a heart
That lies upon a cold stone
Torn, withered

A knight from afar
On horseback did ride
Passing by the tombstone

He glanced, the wind at his back
He slowed, for no reason
Other than chance

He unmounted and strolled over
To this old stone of long ago
And felt the beating heart

Of the past

Thank you Jack Queen Tamar was the "King of Georgia" from 1184 to 1213, very smart woman for her time.

Seems like you were reflecting in this poem. I made me think of someone from my past that was once very important.
