Analysis of Your Soul's Release
Can a phrase rule
over a paragraph
Can the right word
stand alone
Can a thought be held
within one breath
Can the truth in short
be known
Can you single out
the future
Can you paraphrase
the past
Can you connect a feeling
to just one thought
Can you make this moment
last
Can you keep the magic
and release the trick
Can Apollo set you
free
Can you say it while
defying time
Can you voice your souls
release
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
