Wisdom of the Sphinx

__________________________________________
Under the canopy
of the eternal sky,
I look
at the yonder Sphinx
Majestic
not immortal ,
yes , aging ;

For stones shall crumble
into tiny sands,
for immortal 
truly are
the shifting seas
of sands  ;

And they will tell
the posterity ,
how greatness succumbs
and the Man persists  ;

The wisdom of
the silent Sphinx
