Poem of the Day: "mummy" by Ross Balcom, Frequent Contributor

mummy

Ross Balcom

by the Nile

I walk

garbed in

centuries' gray

looking 

for my soul

amidst

the rushes

by the Nile

I weep

muttering

ancient prayers

searching

the water

for a face

that is mine

by the Nile

I walk

yearning

for a pathway

to the past

and its splendor

the kingdom

of the Sun

by the Nile

I weep

Poet's Notes: This weeping mummy needs a big hug. Let's all give him one.
