Pharaoh

You haunted my dreams, my dear Pharaoh. You came in so lightly and unexpected in the oddest of places. It was like I knew you but... not quite. As if to say, "Don't go that way, here come with me" taking my hand and leading the way to the promised land.
You came under the disguise of a foreigner. And there I was with primitive thinking and small understanding. In a big way, we are both foreigners - however, of the same land. From a time when we were Kings and Queens. And you, my love, you ruled over the 19th for many years. Many of the others that would have been rulers over you perished before you. Jah chose you, my lion. He also chose me for you.
Forever your most memorable Empress. Your only Empress.
You dabbled in my native tongue and never asked why...never resisted. Ours was a union to be reckoned with...forging of a partnership between two great lands...coming together like our marriage to form a great kingdom under Jah.
But that was eons ago and now here we are again...barely recognizing our power...wondering why the masses bow before us. In awe of our great power they are.
And they should be! For before them stands you, my great Pharaoh, with your prominent features destined to rule this land before me. For you are my beloved king bringing about the great Exodus.
I had a premonition that I went in to battle with you. I fear that we will have to go into battle yet once again. But we will not lose the fight.
I only ask that Jah allows me to take my leave of this earth first once again...
As a life here alone in Babylon without you is certainly no life worth living at all and soon after your demise, I too, would sure follow.
So I take your hand now, my dear Pharaoh...holding it tightly so that you may lead the way to Zion...
