In Emerson’s work and inspired pen
I come to write poetry again
The world and me become and grow
The All-in-One will know
How all the parts of the whole relate
Our own virtue in our willing fate
As poetry and sophia combine
Philosophy is the threading line
In soul each poem doth reveal some belief
Leaving behind logos in mind’s relief
True it is said of that I can’t do
Follow the example I knew
My efforts can never reach
What his poetry can teach
Emerson was and is now to judge
A philosopher more, poet begrudge
His work always metaphysical
Despite his wording being mystical
His poems a logic doth reveal
Process ontology unconceal
In process is the really-real.
