Analysis of Now Others Sung
Poets write from experience,
dilettantes rave and rant
A price demanded to feed the Sage,
wishing and hoping can’t
Magic to wrap around the words,
feelings and thoughts hard won
Beauty when lyrics belong to you
—in songs now others sung
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
