Jamie

One foot on the Nile

You shape the horizons,

adorn the abyss

You light the darkness

with a starry mist

 

You color the dawn

and the setting sun

whisper a warm breath 

and Spring has begun

 

One foot on the Nile,

the Himalayas 

surrender their claim 

 

Wield the morning sun, 

the stars humbly refrain

 

Yet, merciful is your tone

toward a speck like me
