Once Upon A Time In Egypt Poem by sally sh.
Once Upon A Time In Egypt
Once upon a time in exotic Egypt
The sun burnt the Nile's cheek
As it flowed eternally through the valley
And spoke of divine mysteries
The golden Sahara listened silently
To the echoes of the centuries
The pyramids spoke of defying time standing tall proudly
Stories of kings and queens who bowed to time their enemy
But their names they spoke of carving into Egypt's face eternally
From Ramses, Hatshepsut, king tut to Cleopatra and Anthony
Their royal words sounding in Aswan Alexandria and Nubia
The keeper of ancient history homed god's letters to humanity
When Moses breathed life on Egyptian territory
And on Mount Sinai god spoke his message to him
When the holly family of Jesus and Mary escaped King Herod's army
Leaving Jesus' footprint in Sakha and in Matariya Mary's famed tree
And when Muhammad declared in Egypt forever peace lives
And so it flows the Nile a stream of fulfilled and unfulfilled destinies
On both its banks wise, sophisticated warm faces
Tell Egypt's story of continuity
And the Sahara that slept to the sound of the Nile's stories
Told its own stories of love and peace that maintain Egypt's prosperity
But all Egypt's stories start… once upon a time in heaven.
Once upon a time in Egypt
its egypt............. great, structure, imagery, vocabulary thanks for sharing
peculiar things happened in Egypt but not as peculiar as Fir'aun how he died?
Sally, this is one of your best poems in my opinion. Your vivid description of the land and personification of the Nile (its cheek - great!) , with a long view of Egypt's history - made me feel I was looking down from the sky at the land, viewing its history and its hopes. Great word pictures and a grand, loving panorama of Egypt's fascinating, exotic history. I'll read this one again to enjoy your gift of language.
This piece is very vivid with some great imagery I've always wanted to visit Egypt and this poem reafirms that wish Thanks Nik
Time less Egypt for all to see, flowing like the Nile like your poetry... Andrew 10
