How Worcestershire's Laureate has paid touching tributes to Queen Elizabeth II

Worcester Editorial 17th Sep, 2022   0

Worcestershire Poet Laureate Rhianna Levi pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a specially written poem in her honour.

May she, like us all, be at peace:

There she goes,

Setting down the heaviness of the jewelled crown.




She wishes to find her everlasting sleep.

Her time of 96 years in this frenetic sentience draws to a necessary close,


Behind the same velvet curtains that her Prince saw first.

 

Regardless of personal view, what a fierce woman she remained.

Bringing calm from the pressures of the known thrown, nodding respect to all those met.

May her enlightened blue eyes remind us that death is an eventual date,

But our auras regenerate in years to be.

 

May the Queen Elizabeth II, like us all,

Be accompanied by needed peace.
