⏳"Mirror of the Ages"⌛

Mirror of the Ages


Lions of Babylon surround the gates of paradise
While Sodom and Gomorrah weep
And Alexandria distributes her books
Where are the prophets with their scrolls?
And the Spartans with their golden spears?
In every tree of Eden
A bird makes its nest
As Atlantis descends
In the depths of a rough sea
And Egypt cries with the sphinx in her womb
Blood and running water
To water on the Nile
Raise and raise the pillars of Athens
What cries in the Aegean like serene tears
Buried in the sand
A Trojan horse also cries
Remembering Helena's eyes
