When you Began (Dedicated to Angel)

by Shell Tidings
(Cornwall, United Kingdom)

To pull life from non-existence,
From searing pain sandwiches,
Is the greatest trick of all.

Now conjure up microscopic being,
Sultan-like form unfurling,
Pouring from magical lamp,
Harbinger of nature’s feat.

Courtier bows reverent head,
Her Majesty, met,
No more to retreat,
Sitting proud,
Upon magenta throne,
Triumphant incumbent,
Ensconced,
Home.
