on earth

The presence of Diane on this page got me thinking about E.E.Cummings. In one of his poems he says that "love's function is to fabricate unknownness". To me this means to be open to the wonder of another, but also to attempt to continually create wonders for others. Still, what creates and why? On earth, we've defined love until it's near extinction. So I think that what creates is the unknown and love does not exist until it's fabricated. And I equate the unknown with soul. Soul's function is to commune with itself, despite the form of the body which limits soul's reach. Then love is the conditional definition of the soul in communion.


So it might be better to say that soul's function is to fabricate love. In that way the unknown, the undefined, and the unconditional become manifest as people love each other. On earth, the blockage at the body's form tends to reduce the awareness we may have of soul's function. So;




worldly particles as waves
break one way's dream an other's
a dream of mind's fluid
sharing ways to follow flow
from suspension's belief
in fear's angry frustration
toward soul's function unbound
(or will you have if I will
have,fallen safe to form,less)
then have you will if I have
will from communions unknown

benefit

before sense begins
(in these silent atmospheres-
a notion of future response
impacts a forward reaching
-for beings so irresolute-
with pasts' considerations
-have you seen your sense-
given to what may become
-of how softly light speaks)
of cui bono realities
