Black Shuck

Nile spreads through the valley like a snake Pyramids look awesome in rays of sun about to wake Pyramids are strong constructions can even take small earthquake They are made of limestone granite or bricks that in sun would bake It is a grand ancient tomb But for pharaohs’ soul it is a womb The place where spirit will bloom So gate to heaven is the tomb There are pyramids in many places But England is more famous for stone filling round spaces Main stone sun at time of equinox and solstice faces Is there a distant correlation between those two add places If one researches them it will be found They were both used as burial ground One being a great mound The other circle with stones when hit emitting clear sound But perhaps there is something that left no physical clue But that predates the two And I believe it to be true That black shuck to its existence last remaining clue I don’t know wheatear it was actually build cubit by cubit Or does it exist only in spirit But if it would be build it would be round pyramid with a summit Cone, round like Stonehenge lines meeting in pyramid like summit The lines depict all the dimensions of vortex that mixes time And the summit is place most prime Most sublime This is where lines of destiny growth intersect growth of divine at top of the climb And black shuck with its Cyclops like eye Looking at the midnight sky It is a guardian of that structure that reaches the sky Where some people go after they die Like a pyramid it is a tomb But like it is also a womb Where greatest of spirits bloom And the fearsome black dog is guardian of that sacred room
