+ 27.225 MHz: About A Question Only Asked By Old Poets

Admit you cannot delve into future history's

as yet uncontoured and undefined mysteries:

therefore your question---What is the proper designation

of this phase of my life, the last of my biography's

sequence (the whole of it, most minor of all minorities;

except for the multitude of habituated perfidies

pm which you have spent much effort, as if in obligation

to sin---though the proper condemnation

you profoundly deserve has been given amelioration

by Christ's triumph on the cross unto Salvation.

This and the coerulecence

shall provide your poetry's

final and fullest efflourescence.

Each day one gets up of a

Each day one gets up of a morning is a day closer to Eternity. Perhaps it could be seen and engaged as a countdown. Our past history is marked by the Cross and the future history that has not as yet rolled by is marked by Resurrection until the Day. As a poet though, it's probably a narrowing possibility of cranking out second wind verses, or something of that sort.

Now I am not only horribly

Now I am not only horribly embarrassed but also horrifically aghast that I have failed to acknowledge another one of your comments.  I do not know how to explain this unintentional omission except by admitting my stupidity and carelessness.  Please please please forgive me.  No disrespect was intended, but there is no excuse for what I failed to do.

   I really like this comment you made:  it is poetic, theological, and philosophical (a philosophy of history---which reminds me of the Senior Seminar course I had to take in order to graduate in 1980), and I am very grateful for it.  Your precise understanding of these subjects always impresses me.

   Again, please forgive my unintentional rudeness in failing to reply gratefully in a timely way.

There is no offence taken and

There is no offence taken and in consideration of your present circumstances your timing is quite on point; knowing that you will get around to it when you can, and you have. I have found you to keep the conversation going so I imagine it like a chess game where time and circumstance necessitates one to leave the table and come back at some other time, they've depicted this in several films and even works of literature; a game of chess that spanned decades even. There is no real damage or offence to be forgiven and righted. Please feel at ease to come and go as your situation allows.

Thank you so much.  After

Thank you so much.  After this morning's early shocks, following my discovery of my carelessness, your kind words enable me to stop wringing my hands and to sleep better tonight.  Thanks so very much.
