Modern Religious Experience: Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry

O Key of the Nile,

Marking the rise of the floods

Which bring renewed life to our valley.

Not only water,

You are the sun’s golden energy.


O Key of Life,

Placed by Gods onto the dead’s cocoon

To usher in new souls.

In your unending loop and cross

Man and woman lie together as one

In unity and in love.

We see Venus’s bright light

In your copper and gold sheen.


O Crux Ansata,

Dangling from our necks

Beside brothers Djed and Was,

Give us strength and health

For all eternity.
