HISTORY AND POETRY
HISTORY AND POETRY MERGE
History is to litany as poetry is to light. Bread and meat is the former. Air and energy is the latter. Liquid is our ingestion of all. History tells a story. Poetry sings a song. Both echo mankind's glories, miseries, rights and wrongs. History is of symbols. Poetry is of sprites. Neither shades the other's conceptual's rights. At times, day is one's purview. At other times it is the night's. While history proceeds pedantically. Poetry's counterpart dances, whirls about, romantically. History and poetry embody jointly and severally what is most blessed in mankind, imparting: male to female; female to male; body to soul; heart to head, hands to feet . Historical and poetical liquidity, fluidity, merging mellifluously in homilies, parables , wisdom, instructions, proverbs, psalms humanity, nature, life, and God.
Amen.
