A Place For Us, We Kings

A Place For Us, We Kings
By David Cortez

There is a place, on a moon far away,
where the water glows and glistens.
from under the surface, of unmoving water,
the fronds extend and sway.

A sliver of moonlight, of purple and blue,
carves through the forests and trees,
And in this cool midnight, the gold ribbon tresses,
all follow the wind over seas.

The birds are all fragments, angled flashes and sheens,
the rocks are crystalline tears.
and we stand together, in the velvety flutter,
in the valley of butterfly wings.

and as they all beckon, with cheer they all sing,
we sprout little wings of our own.
what a magical place, as we all fly away,
it is here that we know we’re all kings.
