The crumbling Sphinx looks down on me;
Its baleful eye winks with secret wisdom;
'You have not far to go'...IT sighs
'Before the mirror breaks.....'
Beyond lies the unknown;
How will it be?
a lonely blackness
Or a shining golden CITY?
I hesitate to walk under HIS shadow,
This Sphinx built long ago
This awesome Beast guarding a Pharoah TOMB..
What secret does HE hold from me?
The vision slowly fades away
The Sphinx closes HIS eyes before me
The shattered window softens its broken edge
and I am left in a VEIL of mystery....
When and what will the CITY be?
The full MOON kisses my ag'ed cheek
" Fear not, Little ONE,
the crossing WILL be sweet.."
