That was a delightful way to end the poem! I found myself seeing it as I read it and it could have easily been a documentary in its own right! sam

"only faith can stand against the scourge of pain"....
Gerontian, I'm sure the pain you must bear is way beyond anything we could ever imagine, your imagery says a lot...thankfully you do have your faith to hold you up.....

This is a wonderfully constructed poem, both powerful and moving...mindful of the temples of Osiris and Seti. Thank you for your kind words today.

this is so hauntingly beautiful and poignant...
and has such a self-revealing honesty, I am awed by the splendour of the temples, and the depth of your spirit.
