red hues
float in His skies
greeting me as I cross
to His Heavenly horizon
meet Zeus
Nile
opens her banks
Winding Waterway floods
her Fields of Rushes are filled with
water
I am
ferried over
to His House that fashioned
me—where I was born, new and young
Take me

The title, is not a good match for the poem, when I read the title, I was expecting something a lot different that what I got, but it was a nice poem
-
That is so cool. I love this poem and it seems to me you have put loads of thought in this. Nice write!
-
Excellent
Mystical and magical the picture and the phrases you penned to bring it to life, well done here! -
Namaste Linda: It has been awhile. I wrote this after reading up on some mythology of Egypt and the creation of the sun and the splitting of heaven and earth and these images came to mind as I was reminded of my heart operation and how I visualize the scene. Hope it's not too morbid, but been thinking too much lately on this subject with my treatment and everything. It cleanse the soul at the same time in order to continue on.
PS: The numbers beside the poem(s) are so that I can recieve my accredtion as a Canadian Poet. I have fifty two forms to write. You can check out my progess under Canadian federation Poets list.
Off to get some rest, been feeling down since New Year's Eve and still recoperating. Be back soon though. Thirty-five weeks left and counting. Will have the test reults on my birthday. (March 12)
