Analysis of Calling Inward
Are your wishes scribed in combat,
are your hopes relined with pain
Is your motion found still wanting,
as you climb the stairs again
Are your words now of this moment,
is your verse free and sincere
Are your feelings calling inward,
—from a heart that’s yearning dear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
