a howling wasteland

tied to a tree
was the kidnapped queen
wincing at the mirage of advancing horses
mirage of a rescue team
daunting reality of massive losses

her chief magician chants
his voice echoing in the howling wasteland
a figure in a picture enlarges into a real being
like a fast-forwarded movie
on rewind to a slow motion scene

wearing her crown of planets
the great Amber Talia descends
from the flame of whirlwinds
keeping the universe in motion
and books were opened to unveil secrets…

  2. Benji, the image of a “crown of planets” feels big to me and makes her seem powerful in a cosmic way. Excellent, my friend.
