Mother Queen  by Blackfeather  sac41940@saclink.csus.edu . "O Lady," I said to Her one night, "I'm confused about your very nature. Are you my Mother, to thank with hugs? Or Queen of every person and creature To whom I should bow and offer gifts? I want to know what's right to do!" I felt Her hand upon my cheek And She said, "O, my sweet child you, Either is right, I'm always both The Queen of All, in Stars and Moon And Mother too, as green as may be In Earth and wolves with howling tune. So let the incense smoke rise high, With your eyes downcast in awe-- Then come and sit upon my lap Like as a child you were taught, And fingerpaint upon my face A rainbow and a heart. I'm Queen and Mom to all that lives And we two shall never part."
