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…
