Symbolic Box
A symbol is like a box
it holds things in clusters.
Pictures, / feelings, / concepts and thoughts
Gathered round a symbol,
Like people they muster.
And then these boxes fit into other boxes,
symbols within a symbol.
Each symbol quite unique,
and totally individual.
Boxes within boxes,
the symbols grow and grow.
An ever expanding process that seeks ‘understanding,’
in the process to know.
