what do I mean by poetic

13/4/2018

What do I mean by poetic

some part of what I do has poetic as its essence
some part of essence has poetic at and within its heart

a moving body has soft and hard
through movement each element alters in relative physical relationship
this change is placed within time
​
outside of time there is no change
all is fluid 
all is solid

within time
alteration is potential

shared time is coexistence along time’s passing
sensoral
empathetic
reflective

the alteration in physical relationship between each element of a body is observed through the passing of time shared

this gifts a union

I share time passing with 
what I observe
what I feel
what I see
what I hear

The essence surrounds this shifting
with
​change at its heart


the poetic 
takes all
and distills

offering a semblance

some iteration of each part
in relationship


if each 
  • definition
  • reason
  • rule
was solid

then the poetic would be soft

through reflection
  • time taken


allows change

to take

the solid

to place

the poetic is what can soften this solid definition towards the essential
