Desert Song
A silver caravan of nocturnal gods
They float in silent procession
Marking the hours of evening
They circle in cosmic rhythm
Glowing, illuminating my mind.
On high, the constellations smile
As I tread these desert sands
Drifting through arid ages,
Past obelisks and temple stones.
They sing the tale of a Pharaoh
Reborn in the heavens
His arms outstretched across the night sky
And this song flows with the wind
From here to that Black Land - Kemet.
So let me ride thy starry barque, O desert song
Past winding bends of sacred rivers
Past the temples of the gods, in the evening's incense
Past the furthest cataracts of Nile
Till I've reached the shores of Eternal Life.

I like these mythology poems you do. Sometime I need to get out there to the Holy Land... Good use of language in this one.
Thanks, Neocon!
Glad you liked. I would like to do more such poems. For this, tried to put myself in the place of some one from that time.
