Poem Title:
Poem
Everything that is created disguises a hidden purpose.... A calligrapher writes out his lines not just for the exquisiteness of the script but to also convey a meaning. Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.) What is the purpose of poetry, and therefore of the poet? Refined prose? Beautifully flowing style and structure? Artistic elegance or truth of content? Is poetic purpose the meaning of its language or the art of semantic choices? Of course it must be both, symbiotically fertilizing and farming each incubating embryo, functioning and forming creative language, an expression of intuited deduction, refinement toward exegetically known and felt soul-truth through eisegetical analogy ecology economy of linguistic order, principles of languaged left-brained human nature dancing prancing functional flow and forms through right-brained regeneratively intuited proportional and aesthetic octave polycultured memory, dream-dancing DNA. What evolves and seeds plants and pulls harvests and winnows language, thought, understanding and learning, comprehension and mentoring orthopraxis, ecotherapy and healing rationality and polypathic sanity? This optimally sustaining revolutionary bipolar meaning for graceful living and breathing and healing poetry, enculturates as metaphysically expressed through universal laws of language and cooperative economics, trans-actively mutual mentoring love, as words teach us what we think and thoughts inspire our Way (Tao) toward optimally inclusive expression. Meanwhile poetry evolves physically incarnating through global dancing and singing in full octave ringing circles of energy and organic-spiral dynamic mass, coincident communion. Poets conduct dancing lyrics of life through death, decompositioning regeneration. Poets prehend self-governance structures in ways of light more enlightened than competing partisan pedantry; which may not be saying much for poets. Transliterating Laotse on "Rulers": Of the best public administrators The people only have faith, prehend, that they exist, or did way back in the day; The next best they love and praise: the comprehensively wise polypaths with CQI regenerative well-being outcomes. The abusive and tyrannical next they fear; powerful fools. And the neglectful next they revile and ridicule; weak and humorless fools. When poets do not command the people's faith, Some will lose faith in them, And then they resort to oaths! But, of the best, those wisely compassionate cooperative poetic-rulers, when their outcomes are optimally accomplished, their full-octaved permacultural design word work done, The folks all remark, "We have written and told and danced, lived and breathed, colored and cultured it ourselves." It is no more or less feasible to have a mutually subsidiary and cooperative design and development sociopathic CEO, than it is to find a wise and holy competitive hoarder of wealth and power. Everything that is created disguises a hidden purpose. Creation disguises, yet implies, teleology as ecological co-relationship.
