Deities

I felt my heart freeze 

     and fell to my knees

Standing before me 

     as tall as the trees

Guardian of fates, 

     of the Underworld's gates

A grant to my wish, 

     the God Anubis

He reached down and took my hand

     Beckoning me to stand

Deep in his throat 

      a distant thunder

He was laughing 

      at my wonder

My desire was only 

      half fulfilled yet

I looked around for 

      my Goddess Bastet.
