I long for the fields of A’aru.
The sun-soaked reeds of gold
The ageless mirth of eternity,
Where there’s no young or old.
Where the hallowed sun forever shines,
Its light everlasting.
I run toward distant outstretched arms,
As my soul brightly sings,
And my whole being rejoices and cries:
“Where you go. I will come.
I am home. I am finally home,
In the arms of Atum”.

I oft’ dream of three stars united:
A pyramid-cluster,…far away,…
Sparkling and swirling light projected,
In aged-realms which sway,…
My soul to tears.
Such beauty,…it can not be explained,
With words of practical human minds.
The feeling of awe, deeply engrained,…
On the soul, which pines,…
To return home.
Yes, some things, they are not logical,
For we are made of both man and soul.
Man seeks to eat ’til listless and full.
Soul seeks to be whole,…
And connected.
Those galactic stars,…they speak to me,
In a language beyond form or view,
And my soul answers with silent glee.
I am bright and new!
For I am free!
I am free!
I am free!

I long for my ancestors.
Please help me find my way.
Why must I live apart from you?
Day by day by day?
I long for your wisdom,
To find me,…so far from home.
Please whisper to my heart,
Ancient prophecies etched on tome.
Lead me to the old temples,
Of vision and insight,
To discover the way forward,
On the path most right.
Dance with me in gladness,
And sit with me through the pain.
Grant me resiliency.
Help me to take no day in vain.
I long for my ancestors.
Please hear my sincere prayer.
I feel so lost without you here,
Though, life is not fair.
So, I must do my best,
In the arms of far exile.
Beyond the temple doors,
I take on the universe,…mile by mile.

Near and yet so far away,
The pangs of love cut through.
We are only victims of the day;
Of the sun which reaches through,
And sets our hearts on fire.
Hearts rage in the blazing heat,
Pulsing with fresh desires.
Will we be able to stop our feet,
From burning in these fires?
When hearts so oft’ rouse our feet?
Near and yet so very far.
Hearts smolder in the sun.
We turn away as our insides char,
For we’ve no choice but to shun,
What will only leave a scar.

If I climbed the tallest mountain,
Would I ever reach your heart?
Can I follow you to where you are,
Where we’ll never be apart?
If I traveled to the stars,
And found the universe;
Could I find space next to you,
And within your soul immerse?
If I found the answers,
To meaning and existence,
Would our destinies be one strand,
Of time’s web, rich and immense?
If I can’t climb that mountain,
Or search the twinkling heavens;
Or if I cannot give you,
The peace vast knowledge sends…
Will you remember that I existed,
If I can’t reach where you are?
Will you care that I had reached for you,
And traveled long and far?
Will you think of me sometimes?
