Your sacredness discovered
In ancient desert sand,
Entombed as Thoth with pharaohs
Across the arid land.

Sacred bird do you regret
The honor you were given,
That shortened so your earthly stay,
Departing from the living?

Your sacredness forgotten
On Europe’s southern marsh,
And as your family flourished,
Your critics turned more harsh.

Sacred bird do you regret
Your colonies so thrived,
That welcome waned from where you grew,
Hostility arrived?

Your sacredness remembered
Amidst sequoia trees,
With friendly birds from distant shores,
To roam just as you please.

Sacred bird do you rejoice
That posing on the fence,
Your sacredness remains within,
Uncaptured by my lens?
