• Underworld's green king

Judges souls with gentle eyes

Rebirth awaits all

• Scattered body parts

A goddess weeps, searches, mends

Love conquers death's grip

• Grain sprouts from the earth

Cycles of death and rebirth

Nature's ancient dance

• Golden mask gleaming

Whispers of eternal life

Sands hide mysteries

• Feather on the scale

Hearts weighed against truth itself

Afterlife's threshold

• Crook and flail crossed

Symbols of a pharaoh's might

Rule beyond the grave

• Djed pillar stands tall

Stability in chaos

Resurrection's hope

• Nile's flooding waters

Bring life to parched desert lands

A god's yearly gift

• Starry goddess mourns

Pieces gathered with care

Wholeness restored

• Ancient papyrus

Tales of judgment and mercy

Echoes through time's halls​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

And then to be gone again

On life’s wide river

A seed inside her womb.

A-rise Ra over Hor-I-son To be.

All these foreign gods

Much digging in Egypt occurs

Any bodies found there ?

Bones beneath the sand,

Woven by the winds of time—

Whispers weave the Nile.

Oh, I love the theme of weaving, like the mummy wrap that Isis put him back together with. So cool🖤
