A Dream of Atlantis

Standing at the hill of Palonkon, looking west towards the ocean,
I saw the entire western sky moving, clouds swirling into whirlpools;
Space Jets taking off from the city of Saint Philip, due north.

I turned my eye towards the south.
I saw trees, trimmed right above their trunks,
frozen in a midsummer winter wonderland:
A split reality neatly fitted into a single time frame.

Awakening from my dream, I sat in utter silence wondering to myself:
“What is the meaning of this?”
“This can only be about the future, perhaps 3,000 years from now.”

It took me over 10 years to realize I did not see the future.
I saw the past: a past so remote and steeped in mystery,
Plato could not have imagined it.

This was the day Tehuti — Thoth — left the Atlantean Islands of Cape Verde,
towards the sacred land of Ancient Kemet.
