Poetry: Essential for the Human Soul

Monday, April 2, 2018

"Treasures lie hidden beneath the throne of God; the key to those treasures is the tongue of poets."
The Bab12

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1964
Poetry? Yes or No. Why or Why not.

Poetry,
is a gift from the Holy Spirit
it is essential for the human soul.

Poetry
can be read without
being understood by the conscious mine,
because it makes an emotional connection with the human soul.

The sermon on the mount
one of the most poetic parts of the New Testament
was revealed by the Holy Spirit
to His Holiness Jesus Christ.

Other sacred scriptures that contain poetry
to name just a few
are the Qu'ran,
the Jewish scriptures,
the Bhagavadgita,
etc.
