“And may the protection of the ancestors be yours. . . and so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life”
- John O' Donohue, A Blessing
“She wears a crown of flowers
She speaks the language of the trees
Her feet pad barefoot unafraid
Through mossy paths of the wildwood
The brave little Queen of May
The fey folk bow before her
Dress her in vines and wild blooms
For she is their chosen ruler
Their beautiful Queen of May
The old queen power-mad rages
For she comes to take the throne
The wren of the Realm has spoken
and claimed her as it’s own -
She is the brave little Queen of May”
- B.Diaz , The Brave Little Queen Of May
