Analysis of A Light Now Shines
Allowed to grow unfettered,
allowed to grow unnamed
Allowed to grow beyond myself,
connected once again
Swept up by the wind that brought me,
and free of nether mind
A light now shines within my soul,
—that once had come to blind
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
