~ DEAR MYTHOLOGY ~
{a query into the past}
Dear Mythology
Would you like to be
The solitary ghost, blowing
Through time's grandiosity
Or become the truth that you are
Like a bottle shaken
Spurting forth into reality's jar
Manifesting as a specimen
For all to see and to hear
Bubbling up
Into history's passages
Accenting time's ravages
Unfolding secrets, truths revealed
Allowing modern man to understand
All that ancient Kings kept concealed....
Dear Mythology
If you burst forth suddenly
Would you appear upon a mournful coast
Much like the Dead Sea Scrolls
Or come visit me as in a dream
Appearing to me most sonorously
Like James Earl Jones voicing poetry
Or come to me as lightning striking
In the form of a Beethoven symphony
Oh, sweet mystery
Thou art
Such a fine questioning....
Dear Mythology
Is it simply that you wait
Ever so patiently
All knowing, all seeing,
For most certainly
There is oh so much more
Than what we can see
Methinks this Oh so true
For,
Dear Mythology
You are most certainly
The enigmatic power
Ever encompassing
All that's being kept
From the We
That totality
Of our complete,
Unknown,
History...

Luv & Rockets to u too my friend ❤️
What a novel and unique subject matter you have here! So often we have to look back to begin to understand how or why we would want to move forward and I often feel that far from an ‘uncivilized’ past we envisage that actually we don’t yet have the capacity to fully appreciate all that there was to learn from then. A great write and as with all exceptional pieces it ignites new thoughts and ideas..Than you for sharing this with us my cyber friend! Lodigiana x
Hi LODIGIANA!! I am ever-so pleased to find your curiosity/appreciation for this subject matter piqued!!...... You have (quite correctly) barely touched intuitively on subject matter that will eventually re-write/re-define ALL things about this reality for the better..... but, I am not surprised that you are one of the few.... Thank You SO MUCH for being a light that shines in this microcosm for poetry!!........I am your EVER Cyber-friend and admirer!!.......Thanx Again!!.......... Tony : )......Stay Beautiful my friend!!....... Hugs-n-Kisses!! : )
My Dear Tony,
I have long been an ardent fan of Mythology. One can lose themselves in its mysticism, just like it is so easily done with your powerful work.
The mysteries of life run deep
The past millenniums secrets hold
Mankind's struggle to find the truth
Ancient legends are oft retold
.
The stars hold all the answers
For us to comprehend
Our history recorded
By the light they ever send
Love you Bro,

My Dear Tony,
"I am your Ever-Friend and admirer!!.".
As I am yours, my treasured guru.
