The Key of Life
Civilisation springs from a river:
the brilliant glint of an amulet
permits this story to be told
Who came first – a God or a King?
Who opens the door
Who holds the key to the mystery of eternity?
. . . . . .
The firstborn is an enigma
an amulet
a mirror
fused from burnished copper
an icon of the sun buried in a grave
a grave in a riverbed in the grave of a river
The Key of Life

The key of life (The Ankh Key)
1
To mature, there must be a river
An amulet is a prerequisite for the essence to shine
For the allegory to conclude
Is it the God - King or the King - God?!
Which one is first?
Which one of the two holding the door knob in his hand?
Or which one is custodian to the code of eternity?
2
Half the truth is on the dark side
Immersed in riddles and in keys (encryptions, codes) infected (infested) with eternal oblivion
The aching - lonesome - handsome half
Awakened the Apple
By the flirty mouth of perpetuity
One half (of the Apple) managed to lose its lost half
3
The ancient-one is still an enigma
It was an Amulet
Was a metal mirror
Gilded or polished copper
An icon of a sun within older graves
The Ancient-one is a river-bed (gulch) of an Archaic River
