Analysis of Beyond The Gleam
Can you escape your own intelligence,
can you cross that final line
Can you release your own magnificence,
starting over, redefined
Can you see beyond your vision,
can you wish beyond your dreams
Can you think beyond your knowing,
—can you love beyond the gleam
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
