It
crowns
its great
mountaintops
into glimmering gold, cascading into emerald valleys
that fill the air with warmth, grazing
its atmosphere
with exotic sounds of birds, echoing through a golden sky. As shadows
quickly retreat into the land
of the
dead and great temples
are chiseled out from
the early morning golden light of a rising sun, that moves across
temple
walls and pylons
in its conquest, revealing a nation of long ago,
captured by time, where vast armies fall into
bewildering
silence
to the besieging sounds
of sorrow and cries of grief that grip a continent
and plunge it into darkness.
As remaining
shadows take their prize, the light
enters the giant temple, were multitudes gather in honor of the
most high,
a wise ruler known as the enlightened
one over kings, is majestically composed after his death, before an unparalleled
funeral procession, as the light travels across
its polished alabaster temple floors passing quickly through
high priest, holy man, commanders of the guard, generals and kings. The light
suddenly slows, to the splendor of the Atlantean Pharaoh were he still sits
upon his throne. Swiftly the light reaches and reclaims its own from the shadows
of the land of the dead, and rises with the sun over the lost city of Atlantis.
