This is my adaptation of the 6th century kyrielle form credited to the mythological Irish poet Amergin.I have accordingly labelled the form with his name.

amergin-FIRST & LAST
I am a tear:in tragedy's fear
I am the hope:when power cannot cope
I bring forth life: from the world's strife
I am the peace:that will never cease
I am the fire:in love's desire
I am the light: in blindness sight
I am the grace: in repentance face
I am friend: who but I
Sees the beginning from the end
amergin-PARADOX
I am unique : yet still humane
I am different : and yet the same
I am male : yet, my tears hide
I am old : yet young inside
I am weak : yet am made strong
I am equal : yet complement
I am open : yet introspect
I am open-eyed : who but I
Sees life contrariwise
amergin-WELKIN
I am blue : but not new
I am white : sometimes bright
I am red : and then delight
I am yellow : often mellow
I am marine : but not green
I am light : but not at night
I am black : when sun ,I lack
I am grey : who but I
Sees in , both night and day
amergin-RUACH
I am the voice : of conscience cry
I am the picture : in inspiration's eye
I am the thought : from which me flee
I am the truth : few seldom see
I am the guide : through this world's maze
I am the counsel : in life's despair
I am your witness : who but I
Prompt sin-filled hearts to confess
