Artist's CommentsLike papyrus blossoms sprung from the Nile, towering pillars stand as a forest ablaze with temple torch lights While above, through crossbeams of cedars from Lebanon are seen constellations that the pyramids of Giza mapped out on an earthbound grid- A stellar connection from the golden seat of the Sun God, to the darkness of the Underworld. The One who graces this place on such a night before the act, whose success is sanctioned by her utterances, comes- The Eye of Re, overseen by the Phallus of Osiris in the Shrine of Sokar, The confederacy of Seth, wherein what is near is burning- The stone gods bear witness as voices are raised to chant in solemn song the words she speaks- O you who are invisible, do not await me, for I am Isis. You found me when I had disarranged the hair round my face and my scalp adornments disordered. I have become pregnant as Isis, I have conceived as Nephthys. Isis drives out those who would disturb me. The dread of me follows after me. My dignity is before me. Millions bend their arms to me. The common folk serve me. The associates of my enemies are destroyed for me. The grey-haired ones uncover their arms for me. The well-disposed give sweet things to me. Those who are in Heliopolis create things for me. I live according to my will, for I am Wadjet, Lady of the Devouring Flame, and few approach me. |

Jesus is my power.
The first half of the poem sets up for the 2nd half of the poem (in italics) iwhich is reminescent of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead; words that a priestess in a temple for the goddess Isis. who speaks through her, addresses to the congregation who come to worship.
