On the Bridge

I rummaged through your dirt and found
sandy shells
Thank me
And when I pass stand still to take in the linger of my perfume
bathe in this fragrance; increase your worth
I chose, in this case, bended knees

Go on your way
they know me
and leave their acknowledgement at
the the heel of my throne
and why you, in your new found victory
in this war, whisper two syllables

Pay this homage or find yourself alone
I learned to love in all rights
and in this, the first you should do
is know your blessing

i can tell from the cloths and the language that this is a real lady. not just anyone but one with the royal upbringing. full of grace and what men call a real classy lady but I would call a queen. and believe me, i know that it is my blessing.
