Long cracks tore the dry ground and
stopped at the paws of the sphinx.
It was night when they arrived
Wearily it tossed its head and
stood up, the entire earth shook and the seas sloshed about.
It sunk back onto its haunches and
stretched, coiling its strength it sprung forward through the air, colliding
with the stars it fell back earth
It walked to the sea
The night was velvet and cool,
delicately the Sphinx waded into the surf.
Helicopters swirled above him, the
sphinx roared sprang through the night
faster
further
into the sea........
And when it landed the earth was
awash in great rolling waves.
In the days after the devastation a
great unified hum impregnated the air it was heard at one pitch the world over.
.Each and every pair of ears forced their way sea..
When every human was near the
sea it began to rain………..
The combined hundred, million, billion,
trillion, rain drops absorbed the world
wide hum
As if some one flipped a switch it stopped.
There was a crackle, the sound of
time itself, the sound of every grain of sand so long mute now given a voice
The sound of thousands of hot
endless moments.
The agony of stillness.
The Sphinx spoke.
I have been here…. I have been here
the entire time, my body was buried and only my head peeked out from the sand
sometimes, but I have always been able
to see you……..
The crowded beaches grew still, no
one wanted to risk interrupting the sphinx.
I have seen you, seen you struggle
in false religions and ideals, when I have been here, waiting for you to worship
me again.
It is your ancestors who built me. I am time! Do you think it was wise to separate yourself within yourselves? It never occurred to you that I may have been watching
How you separate each other! How you define and degrade one another..
Every one of you was wrong, every religion was false.
I am time, I have always been time,
it was obvious!
You first task was to preserve me.
Allowing my body to become buried
in sand, treating me as a mute curiosity because you lacked the vision to
connect to your past
Worship me, fall to your knees I need lots of
attention.
I want my hot lion body to be
restored I want more of me!
All this technology and stone
carving, CHURCHES!!!!!! You never once built another Spinx, now I have to mate with
that cheap copy you have created in Las
Vegas.
I am not pleased, and I will tell
the stars on you. The universe is ashamed of you
Human race, you have completely missed the point.
OOOOOOOOOOOO How Neglected I have
been
Worship me!
Dog paddling deeper out to sea it took one
last mighty breath and sunk to the ocean
floor.
It lays it wait, for its eventual
rediscovery
So it can express its disappointment
in the human race once again.
