Frozen in Stone, Forever in Sands

There in the dry lands
He reigns
Surrounded by grace
Hovering dry bone
Empty is the air
And He stares forward
Eyes upon the desert plain
He is focused, clarity
His mind is etched
He is there
His visage is untouched
By even a drop of rain
Ramses the Great
Leader of greatest Egypt
Leader of men into combat
Victor of Kadesh
Defender of the two Niles
However much he is loved
He remains unmoved in stone
His features unchanging
Despite his world fading
He is given eternal life
Seated upon the throne
A part of active memory
And has left the planet
With a celebrated legacy
And one of the very few
Who fulfilled the destiny
Assigned to his being
From the beginning
Of time
