Notes About The Poem

"In the Egyptian creation myth, a small peak called Benben rose from dark, chaotic waters. The creator God Atum appeared on this peak to create the world. The pyramid’s capstone peak represents creation and order. It acts as a two-way connection and pivot between heaven and earth, where the mortal meets the immortal. The pharaohs climb the stairway of light beams from the peak to join the stars."
