“Listen to the flutes playing,
listen to the sitar strum.
Listen to the melody of the lyre,
pay attention to the beat of the drum. Watch the procession as it moves
out through those solemn gates,
past statues standing tall,
marking places of goddess’ grace. Priest lead the marching group,
and dancers with their colors swirl,
as the golden idol is carried out
and cheers all around resound. This marks the glorious occasion,
a time of feasting and of festivals,
in a land far away, bathed in sun-
the land of Ancient Egypt.”— Myriah I. Starrs, “Flutes and Marching- November 10, 2018″, Read More (via myriah-iceillia-starrs)
