A wine-coloured sun
clawed its way frantically
past darkened clouds.
I saw it plunge deeply
into the horizon
when Egypt shot one of its own -
left him lying
in a pool
of his red hot blood.
*Anubis will lead you, Egypt ,
to the sacred scales of *Maat,
*Ammut will devour more than your heart!
Have pity Osiris -
let the people balance
the soul of Egypt
that they may live with you forever
in the Fields of Peace...
*Maat - keeper of the scales - the one who decides if the heart(consciousness) is lighter than a feather
*Ammut - the demon (female) who devours the heart if it is heavier
*Anubis - protector of the dead in the journey to the afterlife
*Ammut - the demon (female) who devours the heart if it is heavier
*Anubis - protector of the dead in the journey to the afterlife

outstanding m'dear and from your mouth to the Spirit's ears
sometimes I think people are scared to visit, it's hard, very hard to admit that someone is a better writer/poet than you, except me I HAVE NO EGO....lol
Because my Reader was up to over 130 blogs I cut back to only 30 because I just could not keep up - comments dropped dramatically but now I can at least keep up fairly well :) But hey it's well worth it if you are the only visitor chere amie...
I know...when I don't visit I barely get four one from you and threefrom Dev LOL
Beautiful prayer, Janice.
Such a poet you are!
Thanks so much Margie and Lorraine :)
