We are the Gods of Egypt
We are of the Nile and the Flood
We emerge and recede
We flow and change with the tides
We are of Egypt
We are of the Sea
We bring you to Us because We love you
Not to scare you
and not overwhelm you
But to be with you
You are still learning
You are okay, sweet child.
You are okay.
And you are still on your way.
Don’t worry, dear child.
We are with you all the way.
Will you get rid of Us?
No.
Let these fears not consume you.
You are of Us. We are your family.
Please don’t worry.
These fears will leave once you know who you are.
And conquer them through story and song; writing and ritual.
You will be okay, dear child.
You will be okay.
Darkness cannot win against the day.
All Hail Sarapis,
Lord of Dogs and Hounds
Baying at the Graves of the Dead.
Lord of Dance in ritual
Lord of decay
Lord of Life
Lord of Death.
Hounds baying at your heals
Run across the shore
Splashing into Your ocean
the Sea is Yours.
Your dogs race back to You,
as You part the seas
for Your Navigation.
