Psalm of Isis
Twice daily the tide rises
Sweeps the sands of Isis
From the ancient beach
Beyond all reach
Ancient thoughts now lost
Attitudes unknown
Memories gone
Isis flown
Civilisation of another creation
Once mighty psalms of adulation
Swept your temples
Arose there the Song of Solomon
In days distant what wisdom now lost
Can never be traced, replaced
Meditate on this, ye seekers
And tides surge
But never the same sea or sand
Returns to land
The same thoughts may return
But in differing form
We cannot step in the same sea twice
infinite power arcane
Must dissipate
To be born again
Sweeps the sands of Isis
From the ancient beach
Beyond all reach
Ancient thoughts now lost
Attitudes unknown
Memories gone
Isis flown
Civilisation of another creation
Once mighty psalms of adulation
Swept your temples
Arose there the Song of Solomon
In days distant what wisdom now lost
Can never be traced, replaced
Meditate on this, ye seekers
And tides surge
But never the same sea or sand
Returns to land
The same thoughts may return
But in differing form
We cannot step in the same sea twice
infinite power arcane
Must dissipate
To be born again

Wow. Blocat, this is written as if grounded in a concrete Place, and is beautifully done. But it read with deeper, more personal, associations from here. It's wonderful. And without a hint of humor! Thank you, sir, for sharing this piece of time and tides.

Oh my word, love the flow in this one...
Blocat, you've kinda...outDONE yerself, hey.
This is brilliant...an elusive quality hanging over this.
Everything changes....that's the ONLY constant thing: change.
Great effort!
Small thing, if I may?
*Meditate on this ye seekers
(A well-placed comma could smoothen the read here, after "this"....maybe?)
Please, I'm so glad you're consistent in your pen.
Keep at it!! Thanks for sharing :-)
