Enlightenment

Blessed by the chaste kiss of Seshat
Her refulgent soul began its journey
Through a ruined leprous Paradise
To spread the light of intellect.
To inspire the cursed derelict
Ignorance coaxed by the Spirit so tender
Abandoned his splendid nest
He looked on with a curious smile
As Enlightenment stepped in to rest.
A mute lightning brightened the sky
On a dark canopied starless night
And seeped into man to be his sight.
Seshat smiled in her divine realm
For an era had come to an end
The gloom of the night faded as it rained
Marking the Rising Sun's reign.
