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)
