Free Verse

Sphinx, Oh, Ruler of the desert! With the same equanimity please accept my humble greetings.

Desert is you, And you are the desert.

To the Bedouins, you are father of terror, But without you desert will be a loner.

Civilizations have risen, Kingdoms have fallen, You have been the silent witness for ages, Yet nothing could erase the gentle smile of yours.

I wonder, What’s the true purpose of your being? Are you conversing with silence? About something that’s beyond simple understanding? Or are you just teasing the emptiness? Like you’ve been doing for centuries?

Your very presence blows my soul and imagination, while your splendour making me kneel in front of you, Spontaneously you become the center of my contemplation, Yet, no matter what I am to you, Just embrace being a devotee who bows down to you.

Time will flow and the nations will change, More pilgrims will arrive and the old trails will be erased, They will recite the holy words trying to draw the attention of yours, Yet, you will remain the same while hiding eternity within yourself.

To the Protector of the Desert…
