Your shadow has not faded though you are no longer here
A footprint that remains clear though it has been more than a year
Time's bell, cast fossilized memories, echoes with chimes sublime
Word of Atum by Thoth chiseled, hieroglyphic rhyme
Fertilized seed of verse sprouted under your shade
From scorching sun this tree protector in blazing critics' glade
Casting off its shell, emerging from its pod
Vestil virgin in temple unshod, naked before their god
