Sunday Muse # 227

Queen Elizabeth II  died September 8th 2022 

 

 the queen is dead

long live the king



dust to dust

ashes to ashes

no one escapes

the grim reaper

not the chess queen

not the real queen

 

 





 may her majesty's  favourite horses

await her arrival 

in the big ascot in the sky

may she rest in peace

  2. Dear Rall, I love the images of Her Majesty you chose to accompany such meaningful words. Sadness here today in our Country for many reasons.

  5. No matter how grand we live, or how high we climb, in the end we are dust of equal. Love all the images and words for Queen Elizabeth.
