Chaos


And all the stars, among them lye

I can not speculate on the sky

I'll tell you in a moment, or eleven

The prophecy I found in the heavens, as in half they were rent,

 

Stars that I have brought back, do cry;

“I think that I truly know the sky!”

And yet, here on the ground they lay,

Waiting and saving throughout the day

 

The Storm-Light flashes, blinding bright

Set and Apophis fall, laughing, from sight

I realize the effect, I see it only now, and more,

As the Red Water laps upon my home-shore .

 

The divine light flickers, fleeting, it fades

As stable as a house of cards, 

(one built by Queens-of-Spades)

That falls through the mirror, landing in shards

 

 I did not know, forsooth!

I wanted to finish with  the truth.

The Shadow’s Serpent whispers ”All is lossst”!

Ma’at falls, as all must,  to Chaos.
