Analysis of Beyond A Future Heaven Loaned



The only way to cross eternity
  is in a poem

Distance not measured in miles or years,
 —epic ballads to intone

The light speed meteor will chase forever
  the wake of verses flown

Where words fly silent and words fly deep,
  —beyond a future heaven loaned

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2016)
