The Queen Dressed In Blue

The queen went out to look for her wedding veil at midday

And I couldn't do anything but stare 

I couldn't figure out if it was her gentle movements or her delicate gestures that left me overwhelmed

I knew she saw me

I knew she posed for me

The queen tried the veil on, which had been prepared with the utmost care for her great day

And she wanted me to see the glow in her face

She remained in front of me longer than she usually did for anyone

That wasn't usual

And me, in my complete inexperience, felt unworthy of being witness to all of this

That's when she whispered:

"Thank you for understanding that the beauty in nature doesn't rely on you changing it, but in letting it be"

Then, she suddenly disappeared in the midday sun

Ever since then, I keep her wedding veil safe.
