A Walk On Water

lapis lazuli offered me protection,as I walked the land of the dead being just half woman and the shadows puppet, i subsisted in nowhere for eons my darkness ended as a mirror of light, shone a course to cross a river a silhouette waited, at the beginning with one breath of life left I crossed the Nile, no water touched my feet, (but shadow gods followed me trailing cloaks of wrath) I was never meant to come back you brought me here protected me,loved me and when you tired of me forgetting the shadows haunt My hair trails a path I am crossing the Nile, moonlight covers the path of my return I am almost half a woman again, and the shadow of wrath crosses my face
