Linda Hepner - Welcomed

Welcomed after absence, the returning queen
Meets maidens in her court who strew fresh scented flowers
And shower her with sweet dew praise.

But she must keep her mystery and height, she’s been
Much shrunken by enslavement in enchanted towers,
And strives to reclaim bygone days.
