Analysis of Beginning Again



From silver to golden,
  the years marched along

As language emboldened
  its words into song

The grey of my twilight
  a welcome relief

All reasoned excuses
  now another’s belief

As the winds through the canyon
  blow the valley to sand

This ending now welcome
  —a new beginning again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
