The Crown, for a friend

So that was a long gap, slightly pushing the definition of irregular… I wrote this for a friend who has a new and high profile, high responsibility job. I liked writing with a person in mind.

The Crown, for Mia

Heavy is the head that wears the crown

but your shoulders are strong

and your mind will be clear.

Your back straight

and your heart open.

Gaze steady

unbroken

Wear this mantle with pride.

Looking ahead -

Don’t forget romance,

that intake of breath.

Truth beauty fairness

those trifling things.

You know this.

Trust this.
