Seker
Seker (/ˈsɛkər/; also spelled Sokar) is a falcon god of the Memphite necropolis. Although the meaning of his name remains uncertain, the Egyptians in the Pyramid Texts linked his name to the anguished cry of Osiris to Isis 'Sy-k-ri' ('hurry to me'), in the underworld. Seker is strongly linked with two other gods, Ptah the Creator god and chief god of Memphis and Osiris the god of the dead. In later periods this connection was expressed as the triple god Ptah-Seker-Osiris.
Seker was usually depicted as a mummified hawk and sometimes as mound from which the head of a hawk appears. Here he is called 'he who is on his sand'. Sometimes he is shown on his hennu barque which was an elaborate sledge for negotiating the sandy necropolis. One of his titles was 'He of Restau' which means the place of 'openings' or tomb entrances.
In the New Kingdom Book of the Underworld, the Amduat, he is shown standing on the back of a serpent between two spread wings; as an expression of freedom this suggests a connection with resurrection or perhaps a satisfactory transit of the underworld. Despite this the region of the underworld associated with Seker was seen as difficult, sandy terrain called the Imhet (meaning 'filled up').

Take It Shake It
by: Sugar"What is it that you want?" I get that a lot in my
travels.
I look up at the sky, and the answer is, "Only my
heart."
The really important words aren't so easy to say.
The place that the light points to, I run towards it.
If it's really something you want so much that it makes
you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
The white clouds float by, heading towards the horizon.
Because the future that's set for us is always close to
I may have cleared the first step, but that's not the
end of it.
There'll be endless more starting today, maybe even
some meet with tears.
If you get tired after working your hardest, you can do
something besides work hard.
The seemingly empty, sleepy night, will come to life.
If you really want to get there, giving up sometimes is
fine.
Even the tears that are welling up, you'll shake it
someday.
Because there are things we'll never give up, we can be
steadfast. Thank you my dream.
Somewhere along the infinity of time, we'll find
happiness.
If it's really something you want, so much that it
makes you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
