the Egyptian Gods use to sit facing the sun
the sun was the God and the stone was sit
was sitting in repose toward the one great
behind then and before them the curtain
of endless night rose and fell like before

straight backed on chairs of mountains
they basked in diamond infinities of points
each one an age of cosmic source
each one a beam of golden ray
centered on their great foreheads

each one a moment of consciousness pure
each a drop of lotus longing for the movement
of light across the face of time within time
the hawk with in the ancient sky rests
night waits for day to greet her, her breast
rises and falls between the holy shadows
passing slow through the veil of her breath
one solar ray enters her deep where the Nile
begins

wonderfully visual poem thanks for lighting my day

well developed poem & theme.

That the sun was larger
and more red
rising over the east bank of the nile
than in other places
is how I perceived it
like a burning poem
that I thoroughly enjoyed.

i think that is the poem
the sun was bigger
colors were brighter
the golden rays were
deeper and more healing
this all goes the the source
of the spiritual life embodied
in the story of Osiris....

we now can imagine what
it was like then, in a poem.

the rites performed, in the
ancient of days, initiation of
Pharaoh into the transformation
of the God.

i wrote this fast and late
and forgot about it.

the connection to the earth and sky for most has waned, and not only is that sad, it's dangerous.....man in his quest to conquer all, has done perhaps irreparable damage,.......... but has also lost his spiritual compass ....

flora and fauna
search like nomads
for a place to live
in peace and harmony

a place to settle down
raise a family
see them flourish
as they fade from the picture

like a clever special effect
