Analysis of To Rebegin



As you age and days get shorter,
  do you reach out for the source

Whether family, friends, or playground,
  is the pull a constant source

Is the attraction of returning,
   going home then once again

The final stage in your progression,
 —to refresh and rebegin

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
