Ode to the Sphinx You look so much different now, m’lord You’ve crumbled and aren’t the exact beast I adored Your head’s been defaced, recarved too small But those changes don’t matter to me, not at all You are still so magical and majestic You still seem almost alive yet unrealistic The ages have continued to pass over you endlessly While you watch over the sands of time protectively Empires have been born, lived and then died In front of your eyes that never blinked or criedThings are so different now than they were then The world changed so much before I could see you again Yet you remained here at Giza unmoved and unmovingly still Waiting and watching like you always have and always will I hate to leave your sight yet again now Though I must leave I will return again somehow And I’m sure I’ll find you still sitting here As you have been for many millennia year after year
