Poet Seer In Parable. Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Poet Seer in parable.

Ah! yes he versified and sang
Because the people said:
‘We want to hear you,
But here you in parable'

So spoke the Poet Seer of life
So spoke and told a parable.

And the people heard intently because
The experiences of the parable had
In one way on another been
One or more of their experiences too.

For that is how all Individual Sovereign Wills
And the Will of the Plurality co-incide,
Find common factors and
The One becomes as of the All and
The All becomes as of the One.

And when finished the People said to
The Poet Seer:
‘Speak more to us for your words
Are as waters to us in the midst of the desert
And as food in the midst of the desolate snows.'

And so the Poet Seer spoke again and again
Till tired, he slept
And the People bent blessing him
United, One Will in All and
All in One.
