A continuing look at Egyptian myth:
Set's Legacy by Michael Doyle Only a mad man would steal Those things that a god would conceal Two bridges rigged with traps Cloaked in the veil of mystery wraps All power is centered on the sun Before which blaze all is undone An obelisk stretches into the skies In pretended reverence for blinded eyes Thinking himself famed before his history Set self-proclaims his own legacy As though deception cannot be undone Perhaps he forgot the truth of the sun A labyrinth of traps has been conceived But sometimes evil is less clever than deceived For light will always cast out darkness And love will always undo harshness The secret she whispers in his ear Even as her last breath draws near Is that death is not the end Life goes on eternal for lovers who are friends Even the strongest god cannot cheat death But the wounded lover's heart prays for breath A deal is struck to bring things to order Even as his heart in hers stares at death's border Life of a thousand years is not immortality And so Anubis is called to claim her mortality With ending grace, she can offer only her smile As she descends into journey by the banks of the Nile The dead to not speak to the living And for this dastardly deed there is no forgiving Staying on the path of the Nine Gates As this lover wishes to defy the fates (c) March 24, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
