Analysis of Darkness And Light
Like a Buddhist mantra,
its chord transcends worry and strife
In the song of Gautama,
souls flee the delusions of life
Its highest form, charming saints
and sinners alike
Beyond distraction and pain,
—playing through both darkness and light
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
