A poem I have written for the Ra Devotional.
Ra Loves Creation
By JewelofAset
Ra loves creation
He loves His children
Both Goddesses and Gods
And humans, too
He loves creation
So much that He fights for its continued survival
Every night and triumphs every morning
Dawn breaks and the battle is won
Creation is saved
The serpent of entropy is dispelled
And all live one more day
He has to win every night
in order for creation to survive until the morning
Every night is a struggle and a battle
And every morning is a triumph
And all it would take is the Serpent winning for more than just an eclipse
And then all creation is unmade and uncreated
Unformed and coalesces back in to the Oneness
Where nothing is different
Where diversity is gone
As if nothing had existed;
But Ra and His Crew triumph
Every Night
Aset, Ra, Wepwawet, Nebet Het, Set
Hethert, Heru and Sobek
Khepera and Atum
And all the Gods of the Sun Boat
Fight so that creation can survive
All animals, All plants
The Sky and Earth
The people
You and me
And the Gods Themselves
Can survive
We live and They live
Because of Their labors
They believe we are precious enough to fight for every night
Then can we not fight for ourselves
Every day?
Fight to love ourselves
Fight to own ourselves
Fight to be compassionate to ourselves
Be kind, be brave and be strong
For if the Gods think we are worth the fight,
Then so too, shouldn’t we believe this ourselves?
