The Goddess Sacrifice
Her love waits for her across the Nile,
Where there linger a crocodile.
Her eyes swollen and wet,
Her heart is heavy with regret,
She thinks about a goddess,
In help, where the Parahs grows.
How to rejoin her lost love? She questions.
Perhaps the goddess knows
Her loves waits for her across the Nile
Where there lingers a crocodile.
lost in the land of Shere,
In hopes of finding Isis there.
Her feet drag across the heavy stone
Her heart heavy with regret,
Now lost in the land of Shere,
in hopes of finding the goddess there.
Her legs find burden and tore.
Her arms heavy and wore
In fear there’s no way to go.
For marked on the heavy stone,
Is the warning of no return,
But still she carries on
For her love waits across the Nile,
Where lurks a crocodile.
The swollen pits, nest of honey bees she pass
With a heart of stone she fear, no last
But then she hears, her heart ponders
The sound of the goddess
Who sings at hour.
Who sings so bliss
But fragile like ash,
Has she found the goddess at last?
Forbidden to see her face,
She bows and takes her place,
And eyes aimed at the ground,
So she may know her now.
A servant who seeks her love,
Across the Nile, where lurks a crocodile.
But do the goddesses hear?
Her singings too blasted and glare,
Does the goddess care?
To help the servant there?
The goddesses do reply…
But her voice is tare,
“Why do you come here?
Why are you there?
Was your love lifted and token somewhere?”
The servant did reply, somewhat low
Flimsy and frighten
“Please help me goddess
My love is far, across the Nile”
But the goddess lips cured down
“You interrupt my song.
My beautiful blessing song,
The birds, nor bees, nor tress
Would care if your love perished utterly.”
Content to send the servant away
But her eyes grew heavy with pity and grief
When she saw on her face,
A hollow empty space.
A glow, so lonely here in this world.
So the goddess shown her face,
And the servant raised her head.
She saw before her gorgeousness.
Skin of honey, eyes of gold,
Not close to stories that had been fortold.
Such grace, to look apond her face,
Such honor to smell such fragrance.
The goddess black hair
Brushed with such care
And chains of gold.
Now the savant looked at her
With amaze and disgrace
When compared to her own frail image,
She felt out of place.
But a woman who bared
Such a glory would help hear her story.
Down on her knees she went,
She wailed in pain.
For the love of her own, but truly ashamed.
The goddess did reply, her voice so sweet,
Her heart shared a similar remorse.
Down to her level she went and said
“Go back to the Nile, my child,
You love awaits you there
For I will depart the river
And the land will be bare
To walk to your love, who waits you there.
The servant bowed and took in her word,
" you go down to the river bay
And take hed to this;
Once you embrace you
Sacrifice me an offering
This you must do."
So the servant quickly departed,
Leaving the way she came.
Under her breath
She praised the goddess name.
knowong, the event to come would be Isis to blame...
Her love waits for her across the Nile
The savant’s eyes bright and glow,
For now the water Nile waters go,
With a path open for her,
Because of the power of the goddess
Isis.
Crossing unharmed,
But she found him not alone.
He held in his arms another
Woman, and hid and kissed her.
With wet eyes she saw,
And with a smirk Isis saw,
They lay together, sleep.
But the servant dared not breathe
But dared not believe
He fell in love with another.
Though her heart perishing
And bitter tears was ripe,
The humble servant, torn with grief,
Did not forget Isis sacrifice.
Down to the Nile she went ,
Where the water was no longer bare
Where the crocodile was there.
She plummeted into the Nile
To give Isis her sacrifice…
And to feed the crocodile.
