Sophia The Poet of Arcadia

(John 7: 37-39)

Sophia had been drinking liquid from many different rivers;

Cocytus, Phlegethon, Lethe, and particularly Acheron – 

And each new sip both burned, and brought chilling shivers;

Enslaved and suffering congelatio, to hypothermia a pawn.

Pursued and lost in savage, rough, stern, dark woods;

Enthralled and tormented, in the depths of a vile prison…

…Like Alighieri; saved by Virgil, Angelic, and Divine goods –

Like Redcrosse; by Arthur`s hand, returned and arisen.

Six carbon, two hydrogen, three nitrogen,

Six oxygen, one carbon, and three hydrogen;

Is the chemical composition of her dialogue,

Although, it`s shrouded in an analogous fog.

Through patience, Sophia is learning to achieve verbal valence;

And

Through assiduous pondering, each equation achieving balance.

Sophia knows that: plain allusions aid in overall appreciation and accessibility;

But

It is challenges – resolved: the facilitation of the congregations’ cerebral ability.

Sophia now decides to consume her aqua from a new source:

The streaming Euphrates, Hiddekel, Gihon, and Pison;

The spring of these heads is where her soul will siphon,

The only soothing solution to cure her spirit – which was hoarse.
