May Theme - A Last Journey

Lorddrakul

The trees rustle gently as the warm breeze stirs the dry leaves. The scent of spices and desert sand assails me as I stand here in the sun. The light penetrates my lidded eyes, my face turned toward the life giving sun. The red granite feels smooth to my touch as I drink in the very spirit of the place. Time melts away. I feel the ground beneath my feet where countless have stood before me to marvel here. The souls of poets and priests move through me as I am drunk with awe in this place.

I tremble as I let my finger tips caress those names, the royal names, the names of eternity. Shelley had stood here as I do. He wrought a frame in words for this majesty. He understood the timelessness of the place, as I do now. I am thankful that I grasp it at last. Thankful that I can feel the past, the present and the future converge here at this spot before the feet of the King of Kings.

I am thankful to have been here once in time so that I can be here evermore out of time.

As my time is nigh, I listen not for the bells or the dirges, I will listen for the desert wind and the echoes of glory as I will stand forever where Ramses the Great conquered time at last. As I am released finally from time itself, I will take the key of life from Shelley and join the ancients, the eternals in the west, in the Ramesseum.

That's very heavy handed, do you not think?
I know getting only negative (although only slightly negative) feedback must be fairly crappy. Sorry.

I don't mind any feedback at all, however I must ask what you mean bu heavy handed?
