Poetry
Poetry is what Milton saw when he went blind.
-Don Marquis
For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Like many of us, I love poetry. While it can be defined prosaically as "the best words in the best order", there are many things which cannot be communicated effectively in prose, but must rely on verse. It is no accident that the two most famous mystics, Rumi and St John of the Cross both communicated their deepest teachings in poetry. This section contains both poetry that I have written, and poems from others which I enjoy, and which have a relevance for Pagans.
