Analysis of Gauntlet Of Time
Gauntlet Of Time
Calling me forward
taking me back
Promising nothing
stepping over the cracks
A doorway awaits
threshold of pain
Whose entrance is crumbling
—to cross heaven gained
(Villanova University: December, 2023)
Over The Rainbow
No difference between
good and bad
when eyes
are caught between
What matters most
and matters least
the treasure
—sight unseen
(Villanova University: December, 2023)
