Unlike A Queen



Shrill cries of seagulls fall from the air

as birds ride warm thermals off her shore.

An old ocean ripe with primal smells

sprays a salty brine upon her core.


In solitude she stands gazing out

looking for her birth-land and sister twins.

In Paris and Luxembourg Gardens, 

they too raise their torches to the winds.


"Liberty Enlightening the World",

sisters born to celebrate kinship.

Stout guardians of independence,                        

gestures of two great nation’s friendship.


Freedom symbols for the U.S. and France

standing for a new faith in mankind.

Our copper lady’s a beloved friend,

holding her light high for all to find.


At her feet lies a broken shackle

representing the rise from oppression.

Wearing a crown of the seven seas,

she portrays a regal expression.


Greeting the sun in New York’s harbor,

standing tall and proud in robes of green;

poised with grace, dignity and grandeur,

bare feet in sandals, unlike a queen.




Check him out.
