This piece tells of an Ancient Egyptian. He longs to become 'Like Khepri.'
I AM BUT NOTHING

{ …Thus I evolved myself
under the evolutions of the God,
Khepri…}


Yea Like the rolling back and forth
Of the sun I once more glide across
The Nile.

I am but nothing compared to thee
In all humility I look upon thy power
And gaze in wonder at thy majesty

And I will evolve
Yea, like Khepri
Becoming like thee
Becoming as one
With the Nile and the sun

As I glide upon
The eternal river and giver
And provider of life
