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
