I Am the Sun. Once, I was known as Ra, glorified, deified and ratified in excellence. I was "the creator of all that is and is not yet… the father of fathers and the mother of mothers." I was "the God of the living and my brother Osiris the God of the Dead." I do many things. Nay, do not worship me as the son worshipers did, or the sun-worshipers of today still do. I am just here. I have been duly worshiped by the scene of the falcon, and do not need more sacrifices made. I am not alone. Perhaps I led you to monotheism. I give life; see the nurturing of your greenery and the warmth upon your face. I take life; see death quiet, even in my brightness. You behold my arising joyfully. You bid me good morrow. I bring to you the start of many things, and end them at eventide. I am sought in solitude at the close of day. Even then I am not gone, but live on, in the shimmer of earth's moon. I have life. I can span only so much time. While I am here I will give you what I can. For righteous or adverse. I am the Sun. I am. Can you live without me?

Sunshine, I love the Egyptian references within your piece. I've always had a fondness for all things Egyptian and the sun. Now I can add this to my collection. Thanks. |

 YAY!!! Oh my gosh, this is such a wonderful interpretation of Egyptian mythology, sweet friend, you are the sun indeed to us all and you will always bring beginnings that follow every end of every lovely poem you write! (smiles) You are sunshine to us all, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I bring to you the start of many things, and end them at eventide. I am sought in solitude at the close of day. This gave me a feeling of calm...at the close of this day! Forgetting all I'm lacking |
