Analysis of Forever To Shine
Starting on the emotional freeway,
I stayed between the double lines
But traveling beyond the factual byway,
I hitchhiked through my mind
Passing each word going north or south,
and then driven to what I might find
I journeyed alone far into the night,
headlight’s once dark, now forever to shine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
