The Queen of Spades


There’s a land far away
Where the sky turns to gray
Which I hope you’ll never find

Only those who do stray
Will find their way
To the kingdom of the night

In the castle lives Jade
The young Queen of spades
Who just wishes she had some light

Throughout all the halls
Her dresses and walls
Seem only to be black and white 

But the kingdom across
Never feels lost
Because of their radiant light

Both the Queen and attendants
Are viewed with resplendence
And feel like there is nothing they lack

So with hearts full of love
And a kingdom of doves
They sent young Jade an invite

The Queen of Spades came quickly
Avoiding the wandering animals
That were so prickly

Resplendent Attendants greeted her warmly
Sitting her down and telling her stories

Jade, Queen of Spades
Felt out of place
With all the colorful space

When she returned to her home
She smiled at the glow
That was new and in rows

The Queen of Hearts
That Master of Arts
Gave Jade her light
