Symbols in poetry are a means
of simple communication.
It achieves a higher purpose.
It deepens our awareness.
Traditionally, the value of
the symbol is precisely
in its apparent uselessness
as a means of simple communication.
It is ordered toward communion,
not to communication.
Because it is not an efficient
mode of communicating information.
The symbol can achieve
a higher purpose of going
beyond practicality and purpose,
beyond cause and effect.

In language symbols have been used to difficult concepts. Perhaps that’s why they are so mystical. It is always so fascinating to learn symbols of different cultures and religions. It is even more fascinating to see how symbols change meanings as they are brought to new lands. Enjoyed reading bothyour poems.
