Analysis of Love's Delight



The pen became my instrument
  the words became my notes

The stanzas burn like songs on fire
  new voices scream with hope

The ink runs free and heavy
  the score in black and white

The music coursing through my soul
  —to christen love’s delight

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)
