The Hand of Duty
The Hand of Duty
Dew descended softly
upon the Scottish highland grass,
covering the earth beneath with a regal crown
that glistened in the early evening sunshine,
saluting the passing of a monarch,
sombre, the clouds above,
as they accompanied the simple announcement with gentle rain:
“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.” Marking an end to her reign.
Love is the kernel of duty.
Faith the stiches in the garment
of her seventy years upon the throne,
her service gladly given
with a smile, a wave, a flash of blue eyes,
and an outfit of many colours,
all with a heart centred upon the values of family.
People, ordinary and everyday, rubbed shoulders with celebrity
as in solemn procession poured in military precision past her catafalque
blessed with an air of reflection, graced with a tone of admiration.
A bow of completion, the ending of their own pilgrimage undertaken.
And so to her funeral,
death has taken hold of the hand of duty,
the nations stop to mourn.
The scriptures proclaim life, hope in abundance,
her regal robes are removed,
while the garment of the heavenly banquet, are waiting to be worn.
