Even then, I'm a postmodern reader reading something "written" (ahem) for a pre-scientific audience, hence my advice to freely interpret.

Different reasons for writing each one, different audiences, different messages. And IMO, to truly understand the bible, a vast background of "education" needs to be a foundation. BUT there are two ways to read the bible - one as a scholar - and one with an open heart for one's own personal seeking. I like that you "grabbed a partner" and encouraged each other. Well done and enjoyed the poem.
