The Prompt, “Poetics: Poetry & Philosophy,” from dVersepoets
charles miller, the host for this particular prompt at dversepoets, writes, in my view, a super interesting essay-intro into the how and why of poetry and philosophy
included, are these two tidbits,
“Since Plato, poets have used philosophy for both inspiration as well as a greater and deeper awareness of reality. From Lucretius (Democritus) and Dante (Aquinas) to Borges (Schopenhauer), Stevens (Bergson), and Eliot (Hegel), poets have sought and found inspiration in the rational explanation of reality provided by philosophy.”
and
“Poets express the reality of the world in its emotional grip of the soul; thought in the form of an ecstatic awareness of ourselves in the world, so to speak.”
*
so i in turn wrote the rambler fun poem below 
and feel i’ve paraphrased the last sentence into, “thought in the form of an ecstatic awareness of ourselves within ourselves within ‘a’ world, and so must speak….”
couldn’t have said it without charles’ essay prompt!

And The Idea Is…
a priori
of course
is the route that
begins
yet ends
with questions
**
did i not exist before i believed
i thought i heard a sound
within my heart?
**
i am i said and thought
i felt i’d said
with
conviction
my marriage
of
my tested thought
and
survivor’s sentiment
**
i am
therefore
i am
i repeated
**
will life have lifted me from clay and dirt
and recycled litter, merely to place me
back on the heap to be another’s
treasure, myself now junk
**
do we raise a consciousness in ourselves and thus
all others
and thus all things
and then back into the universe
the expanding big bang cosmos coming
out to play among the dark with self made stars
and spirals that smile when called by their maiden
name, galaxy…
**
just to one day unseen it’s too far we’re too small
re-contract into the primal black hole of a new
unscheduled big bang breathe
**
are we but a breathe in time’s wheezy ways
of wishing walls were wet with tiny
spring time buds that birds
in bands break into the
seeds we think are
thoughts
but feel
are more…
**
do we really stop
when we are
buried
or
merely wake to choose
again
if to join the dance of tag
called
a priori…

Pictured, 
The first series, “A Month of Mornings” conveys the awareness of waking each day, to the repeating and new events in daily life, and celebrating that. A cup of coffee. Heat in winter. Getting achy or sore, fit or raring to get started, day-to-day, each day.
Then, initially also meant as an experiment, and day-to-day companion, Adan began seeing if he could find a gratitude, one each day, no matter how simple or basic. From this Adan’s second ebook series grew and became “Everyday Gratitude.”
About a month into the creation of these two series, Adan says it dawned on him that he could combine two of his creative loves, verse and imagery.
