Alpha and Omega

Each beginning leads to an end and each end leads to a new beginning...

 

As we start out in the alphabet

Of life we are alpha whether big or small

In the beginning, yet we are tiny, we have it all

Or … are our lives just a mere part in one big bet?

 

Beta, Gamma, Delta… Can you name them all

All the letters of the alphabet passing by

During the course of our lives, we often wonder why

We are seemingly waiting in the train station hall

 

Some of us may be chosen to achieve greater goals

Others may enjoy life just fine

While enjoying the small pleasure of nipping at a glass of wine

At times though, life may feel like mining coal

 

It is then, during our darkest hours of need

At first, we might feel totally numb

Nevertheless, we are anything but dumb

Only are thoughts may be in need of a feed

 

Once we have crossed that part of the street

We are able to reach the turning point

Suddenly all our forces seem to be joint

While embarking on an enormous fleet

 

Of letters, rowing us towards omega

For the Higher Being shaped us, look a likes

Of his own Being, while flying kites

He/She shaped each and everyone of us

 

To the exclusive alloy of alpha and omega

For in the end, we will be come the only One.

Alternative_Be's poem Alpha and Omega gives the reader the light from with-in.
The flow of the poem gives the reader a vibrant flow of knowledge. I have found no grammatical issues' yet to be found. And I like the spiritual in-light, Alternative_Be puts in the minds of her readers.
Thanks Denise,

To start out as Alpha and move on to Omega, each letter representing a phase in our lives, this is a thought provoking concept. I enjoyed your use of language and the way the lines flow easily. We are all different and yet we start and end our paths the same.
