The Letter A – a

What can I say about an A?
A – star, A – list
Alpha male
High flying, soaring
Looking down from above is A
Amazing, adored, appreciated
All inclusive
Always dependable
An A courts
Go-getting action
Jet-setting attention
Like no other
Awake, awake
Ask anything you like
Of an A
First of 26
Announcing the dawn
Believe me
Anything is possible
At the beginning
Of a list
Representing sound

After long night, up-risen is the morn

After shock, silence
After silence, speech

After speech, sleep
After sleep, seek

After long night
Up-risen is the morn

Mourn dark days
Up-rise the tide of dawn

The Letter D – d

The letter D has it hard
The black sheep of the alphabet fold
A sound like no other to sum up
Life's devastations
Man's deviations
Woman's depressions
My desperate search
No other letter does it like a d
Don't doubt
It'll drag you down
Disaster creeping like the devil himself
Through every open door
Despair, disparage – too many dis' to mention
Too much deception to know a lie
Too much darkness to be able to see
Driven to distraction
So much death, departure
Damage done

The Ravine of Kidron

Strength from above
Pressed on every side
Life blood squeezed out
One drop of a bloody
Tide to flow

One betraying
As footsteps fill the air
Torches, lanterns, weapons
To extinguish
The world’s light

Taken down with a kiss
A sword’s flash
A severed ear
And one final miracle
In the garden of your circle
Breaking
