Poem: "Madame, Queen, Lady" by Kay Irvin

Madame, Queen, Lady

By Kay Irvin

Madame, I am here

And gift your garden

I'm knocking, placing an "x" by three

My quest is dreamy

I entrust you with my reverie

I come with flowers

I come as a simple stargazer

Quick, as a razor

Grant a wish to me

Slash the sorrow, Queen, with your beauty

Guide me, show me path

As marble leads and lines mystic ground

Gateways are spellbound

All is a journey

Among worlds that bridge infinity

I come with ribbons

I come for strength and serenity

If I am worthy

Madame, Queen, Lady

Wave some magic for my destiny

~ For Madame Marie Laveau, "Voodoo Queen" of New Orleans [1794-1881]
