"sphinx - Dom"

Your Highness, the Triads of the Milky Way galaxy “Planet Earth” Have evidence of Your “GRAND” - Grand - Father’s” ‘“ E T E R N I T Y “ ‘ As Your Shrine Shines in the heat of a desolate “Forbidden Dessert of Life” Crumbled , broken, eroding “ The Shrine of Your Beloved “ FOREFATHERS “ I as YOUR Servant : as the Knowledge , YOU bestowed upon my “Foreheads’ “ The Triads have advanced ; their technology today equals Yours of “ History “ How long before they realize ; the devastation they avoid : they also “Created” Shall they think they have found the “ Forever answer “ to Eternal, Everlasting “ How do YOU tell them that the Dreams they Dared to Dream, were not “Reality” Know that they can see the “T R U TH“, in Death, not the DEATH of Your “TRUTH” The third Planet from the Sun ; we call the “ Raven Star “ unraveling it’s destiny As they did to the Lineage of YOUR “GRAND - Grand - Father’s” “ANCESTRY” Will they SURVIVE?, Will they See, Know, Speak and PRAY TO their “GOD” Do they learn to LOVE one another, to Help each other? To keep History “ALIVE?” “So VERY SAD to say ; My Friend , they do not Find the Key to EVERLASTING LIFE” Author's Note : This POEM was Inspired by Two of My Favorite POETESSES Carol Brown ( My MENTOR ) for Her Contest "STORY TIME " I dedicate this to YOU Carolyn Devonshire ( My TEACHER ) for Her Contest "Sphinx Head on Mars? Dedicated with LOVE to my POETESS LAUREATE "CAROLYN DEVONSHIRE"

Very awesome write, best of luck in the contest, by the way, that co-write I did with Deborah, was so time consuming, did you see the form Sestina, those are killers, we did everything back and forth, back and forth, but we finally got it done.. thanks for your comments on it~~
