ODE TO A DEPARTED QUEEN – by Sunimal Perera: Montreal Canada
She’s gone now
This fluttering spirit of ethereal charm
that gave a teetering world of derision
caught up in an eternal maelstrom of negative winds
a semblance of sanity.
The grace and charm so well equipped
the essence of goodness
so displayed and so arrayed
in a visibility that encompassed many continents
as multitudes worshiped her memory
and wept by the wayside as she passed.
the serenity and calming grace
she thus displayed
through actions which were never swayed
by bias and disrespectful space
which to a world perhaps in retrospect
will never again be so displayed
in such a magnitude of overwhelming grace.
