The Sphinx

A poem that expresses hope and good humor.

 The Sphinx

Although

I'm not travelling

to Egypt lately

a Sphinx keeps visiting

my dreams repeatedly.

It's rather nice

that without a visa

I meet him here

and not in Giza.

On the other hand

he hasn't opened

his mouth yet,

and thus maybe

I'd better meet

the Oracule

of Delfi,

half his words

I can't understand

but I can always

pretend

that I'm listening,

and I do comprehend

his predictions

on my fate

'I'm glad you liked it SyberRose thanks so much. I do see persons and sights in my dreams and when i'm lucky I remember part of it, and turn it into a short story.
