Sphinx

Surpassed celestial gates of light
I left the worldly spheres behind
Into atmospheres unknown
To the planet of silence

Ancient tales have told
Of sphinx on his throne
Create an aura unique
His superior mind
Doesn't need space or time

Pass through rooms of 'now' and 'past'
And leave the future way behind
Move through dimensions unexplained
The palace of eternity

Wisdom's books I search
In these temples of sphinx
Pyramids of peace
Meaningless time
No such thing as time

Quietly trace him slowly and finally I confront him
He silently gazes with a piercing look
I'm overpowered and struck by anxiety

His charisma enlightens me
His eyes tell tales I couldn't see
Sphinx is superior to my fate
He motions me but no word is said

One last glance, he turns away and spreads his wings
Slowly rising, soars up to the heights
The brightest star yet seen comes into sight

Ancient tales have told
Of sphinx on his throne
Create an aura unique
His superior mind
Doesn't need space or time
