Then

Then, there was the first word the alpha; beginning all the others. Sometimes loud, sometimes soft. Its face is like a new child, expectant, wanting to grow. That is the first word.

Then, there are the other words; the betas, gammas, deltas and thetas. They are legion and few, kind and cruel, romantic and tragic, swift and long, straight and meandering. These are the proud words, the big words, the clever words, the fat words, the middle words. These are the other words.

Then, there is the last word the omega; ending all the others. Sometimes soft, sometimes loud. Its face is unexpected, olden, waiting to go. That is the last word.
