Acrostic:  We Are Alive

©2010, Olan L. Smith

We are here to expand our information and return to the heavens by

Enduring all things and quenching our thirst for creature awareness.

As we seek living waters we understand Earth’s fountainhead does

Run like a stream from wellsprings high upon blue-mountains—

Every soul will be witness to our perpetual craving for the eternal.

Although―events siphon our resources, while

Lapping jackals deny access―we are unsatisfied.  The Host sees

In us authority―hope for humanity…we, the poets, discover the  

Very essence of meaning through

Endurance and expectations―verses, yet to be penned.
