Tribute to Bastet...Cat Goddess

Where To Go

All fairy tales seem to begin
Once upon a time in a magic land did dwell
So here I start this piece

Once upon a time
In a palace up on a hill
A beautiful princess there did dwell
She was fair in every way
Green flashing eyes and skin so soft
White as driven snow

Now I wonder where to go
Perhaps I will change in midstream
For ancient Egypt pulls on me
my friend Tirza Rainbow has inspired me to do so

Goddess Is She

Green flashing eyes Lady Bastet her name
Cat and Goddess combined
Sultry seductive in all ways
Protector of the pharaoh

In Thebes in ancient Egypt there
Wandered she through hallways bare
Gliding like the cat she was
Spitting venom everywhere

Softly curled her long black hair
Her golden skin through veils did glow
Subtle aromas of frankincense
Around her body they did flow

Law of Maat

Bringing balance harmony
The Law of Maat so it be
A pure flow of energy
Around the pharaoh place did she

Protection in a spiritual form
That from the Godhead then did come
All who dwelt in noble Thebes
Aware of this were they

Entourage of Pharaoh Came

Down marble streets
Pharaoh and entourage did wend
On either side pillars of alabaster tall
Towered high
Painted red orange and blue
Feathered tops touched to the sky

Great lionesses on either side
Overlooking everyone
Gardens of green sheltered the squares
Through which the pharaoh's guards did come

Bubastis

Festival of Bubastis to celebrate
Music song and dance
Great sacrifices were made
Honouring the Cat Goddess

Reveling all day and night
Drunken they on wine and beer
In the streets did fornicate
That was the order of the day

The Perfect Now

How to end I do not know
So will leave it up to you
Use your imaginations
As I do
Turning words into a song
Poetry sublime or otherwise
Depending totally on you

Some will like
Some will not
Bothereth me not a lot
Tomorrow is another day
As I dwell in the perfect Now

and so it is
