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
Pyramides 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
