Analysis of Beyond The Nearest Star
Who speaks to you sincerely,
who calls your name out loud
Who plates your image clearly,
and picks you from the crowd
Who tends your words forespoken,
as you wander near and far
Who waits for you rewoken,
—just beyond the nearest star
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
