She went out into the forest
to walk among the tree armies
dance through ballrooms lined with pines
wearing a crown of fallen leaves
She travelled to the icy plains
and fashioned robes out of untread snow
the howling wind an orchestra
with tunes to which aurora swirled
She found herself in many a desert
skirting the great waves of sand
She discovered art in the trembling heat
and the hidden gems of fertile lands
She journeyed to grassy fields
that waved and bowed as she passed
The wildflowers completed her crown
symbol of an empire never to be ruled
She ventured out into the world
and returned a queen.
A/N: Written for week 3 of endolia's weekly contests. It was inspired by the song "Queendom" by Aurora.
