Come sit here a while, scoot up real close
Let me tell you a tale, that’s both wise and grandiose
Firstly empty your mind, of the trials of your day
So you’re fully relaxed, with no thoughts in the way
Close your eyes as you listen, so you picture the scene
Of the banqueting hall, of a hostess, and Queen
Who has lived in this castle, since the day of her birth
Though some say she is older, than the seeds of the earth
Her wisdom draws visitors, from as far as Qatar
Who arrive bearing gifts, of fine wine and caviar
She is a friend and a mentor, whom all do applaud
But the real reason for coming, is her unique Smorgasbord
The food all laid out, can transform and renew
It rejuvenates and nourishes, after only one chew
She serves herrings and beetroot, all pickled with intent
And rye bread all smothered, with blissful content
Her saffron spiced pancakes, can mend a broken heart
Refreshing your taste-buds, to ensure a new start
Gingerbread Angels, served with fairy-dust jam
Will discriminate the truth, from the general flimflam
Jellied pork, jellied eels and red jelly with fruit
Can resolve petty quarrels, solve any global dispute
Dishes of potatoes, mashed, scalloped and fried
Whisper to the spirits, of those who have died
When appetites are sated, collective vibrations increase
The frequencies rise and create an inner peace
A soul that’s been nourished, overflows with pure joy
Never fearful of sharing, or seeking a decoy
As the plates are all cleared, there’s a moment to pause
To acknowledge we’re part, of the solution and the cause
We are all deep inside, both a Queen and a King
So it’s important we all shine, and our hearts they do sing
