Eyes, paws raised up high,
A prayer for Benevolence:
Bastet cast in bronze.


"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." – Annie Dillard
Eyes, paws raised up high,
A prayer for Benevolence:
Bastet cast in bronze.

Thin beads of Sweat fall
Unto the parched forest floor
Trees cry out for Rain.
Sunlight peers through leaves;
The glow of Life suffuses
Through my aching Heart.
Nigh inseparable
We were; now far, far apart
Your absence is Pain.
Friendships are nourished
With thoughtful words and kindness
And Time - sweet, sweet Time.
In the hot morn sun
The great gave some good speeches
against their good friends.
I bear this dense crown
Jagged whispers drown the morn
We mourn our dread days.
Behind those green hills
The sun is drowned by clouds;
Sunset calls her home.

The warm light streams through
The wide bright windows, dappled;
My poor heart aches - breaks.
The last hours trickle
Down to these final seconds
The final leaf falls.
