Queen of the Night

As the queen, she rules and all bow to her presence as she graces the night. Her heavenly white blossom pierces the imagination. Her fragrance descends and envelopes her subjects as she graces the night. She grasps the moment with bold tendrils searching for purchase. Delicate beauty tantalizing, inviting as she graces the night. Alas, she must say farewell too soon and withers away. She leaves us breathy, a captivated audience, for she graced the night. The remnants of her life, limp. We are spellbound; we mourn her.
