The Thrum of Kalon

      It permeates all, in the blinK
    of eyes, the balance of karmA
                   in the fluttering sqalL
                    of the heart's vibratO
               the silent center withiN

In exquisite cascade of rain streaK
                      oblique aqua-stigmatA
         casting off what was needfuL
                  like a soul-wash placebO
               the snake sheding its skiN

           Kalon scribes runes in inK
across pages of disparate maniA
     engraved memories, wakefuL
            in time's echoing staccatO
              illustrating what's drawN

Skin deep in dawn's sleeK
  glimmer, kalon's arcanA
        sings night's wishfuL
                  melody, to halO
      a moon soaked hymN

      Abound in mornings breaK
celebrated in burning magmA
           distilled in earths joyfuL
       flood of plasma, in SolanO
   breath expressed by the suN

KALON is the thrum of meaning,
bubbling underneath, injecting
pure life into the cracks in between.

As the etymology of the word 'Kalon' dates back to antiquity and ancient Greek times, the Acrostic form felt right as it has its origins as far back as the writing of the bible. The definition of the word Kalon is:
