Ancient Landing

 Descending with the sun,

Over the vast, Egyptian desert.
Gold rays dance on my skin through my airplane window-
The Nile weaves a song along the earth below.

Colors fading quickly,
As each moment passes-
Nearly on this ancient soil.

There is a stillness in the air
Which is void of clouds-
The land seems neverending,
And the night approaches with welcoming arms-

I feel held in this moment,
The way She holds me,
A piece of her surrounds me in a way so deep, I am at a loss of words.

Tears well in my emerald eyes with gratitude, excitement, and peace-

For the love of this land holds me,
Before I am able to dance barefoot in the dust-
And kiss the ancient Goddesses,
That guide me.
