Acrostic: ABCs

Accept time is dwindling atom by atom;

Breezes carry them to the seas where life recycles,

Coalesce in the liquids jostling until new life is formed.

Deeds produce desire, and actions ignite hope

Enough life is formed in the foam and Aphrodite

Flings life on barren shores, and fish crawl upon new land;

Growing legs, walking upright, and dominating the earth.

Heaven comes to land, sky touches horizons, and gods

Inspirit flesh. Who lives? Is life from the gods their wish?

Jehovah gathers Wanderers from Sumeria, given

Keep lines their crate. Greece is power supreme.

Life abides, life is lost, and Kali is pleased for a time.

Merely tilling the soil will last for a moment until

Nirvana is reached, and souls are united as in the beginning.

Open your minds; listen to the sea speak!

Persephone's breath is ice; Demeter retreats; she

Quarters the season, and life retreats to warmth.

Roar source of life; remember Death is supreme

Source of life. We join gathering opportunities.

Tamp down the soil, they sprout

Upward to Sol for nourishment. Life is

Vehement; it will prevail! Cover the earth with stones,

While seed break stone. Come the gods,

Xristos rises, rolls back the stone, and the Keep is alive;

Yesterday is diminished; eternal life spouts,

Zeus stands aside as death is still.
