Above It All

June 23rd, 2008 | Category: Poem

Overhead and holding steady, Amun-Ra purveys
Rays of sunlight wash the city in a newness not seen for days
Heliopolis called forth to awakened gods of yesterday
And they heed its’ beckoning call
Once more relevant and powerful
It is the City of the Sun once again
Son of Earth and Sky appears below
Calling out in song to Sister Isis
Waking her from soulful slumber and her simplicity
Queen of Heaven – Mother of the Gods
Nepthys, Completer of her Sister, follows quietly
Disturbing not the dead nor the lotus flowers under foot
Her entrance to the city as the Lady of the Temple creates hope
And as the priests return they can worship and adore
Once more under the watchful gaze of Ra
The Citie’s Breath returns anew, Serket is a windy presence
Protecting Love and City with Aset and Nebet Het
Her Sisters in the City wake and sing in harmony
The Lioness Protector makes her way to Heliopolis
As if called by the song of the ages
Ancient rites and rituals called forth as flames peak and peer
Shadows roam the homes of many who return
Senwosret is made whole at the obilisk where they meet
Holding hands, eyes focused on the heat above
Re-Hekarte appeased as the city lives and hope returns
Ra peers from above and his lingering rays may burn
Indifference yields a passive care as his attention shifts
