Egypt
I sit on top of pyramids and scale my landscape of ancient tombs with expired
pharaohs in them
a queen once watched is now lived (through me )
with stone and pallet I begin to etch in stone the names of my children
starting with Q Nefertti and K Tutankhamen
Brick By Brick just like the peasants built the pyramids
so that when I took my last breath of life in this palace the temple of my eternal
soul will live
It became longevity for me to understand that the sun evolved from the light in my
soul and the moon was the dark part of my eye color and yet the white part too I
never knew that some of the stars were millions of my kin kings queens price’s
and princesses and gifted and talented beings shooting stars are my mentors
falling back to me from the sky what I found when I looked again I didn’t even
know every grain of sand and dirt were marks to the path I would see when I
began my journey to the end of my life I went through so many phases and
changes sitting mounted on my pyramid home that when I was done my destiny
was on ……
