I met a King.
I don't want to rule, he said.
I couldn't help but ask, 'why king?'
I listened, and his answer sounded just like this:
'why would I want to rule without my queen?'
'I love her more than words, her joy is more precious than any THING.'
'her smile lights my day.'
'her love knows no bounds, hers is a HUM.UN.GO.US. love.'
'her single child, would be THE child.'
'her single meal, would feed the nations.'
'yet, my rule says stay away, rule from afar.'
to hear.
to see.
the king with everything, including power, wanting only his queen.
as for me, I turned my face toward the hummingbird outside the window, and stared.
