River Testaments

Fertile silt spilt over its bank
Providing voluptuous life
Northward compass unusual
to intersect with Orion
Illuminated stars for wise men three
Moses basket ride, Israelite pride
Life along miles of virile poignant Nile

Omnipotent sent a proffer
Humble son gift euphonious
Trinity, accept the offer
Blest banks of Jordan, satiate 
Acceptance grant by the author
Pontius Pilate governing Saviors fate 
Instinct attitude, caveat debate  
Imbibe in the soul space, venerate place~
