Life After Life
After each
birth eventually
comes the inevitable
death in the physical realm.
In between are blessings we want to last and hardships we seek to halt.
H ere we are
A nd here we remain
L ooking for ways
T o stop the progression of time
Sentry spirits stand at the gate
Smiling as we sail slowly toward the
Source of serenity
Singing seraphs stop suddenly
Surgeon’s paddles start the heart a second time
Sending souls back to the earthly sphere
Entry for Deb’s “Aye, Aye, and a Mistress” contest
ABC followed by Acrostic and Alliteration
* Used the alternate Soup definition for ABC: “A poem that has 5 lines that create a
mood, picture, or feeling. Lines 1 through 4 are made up of words, phrases or
clauses - and the first word of each line is in alphabetical order from the first word.
Line 5 is one sentence, beginning with any letter.
