Analysis of A Legacy Recast
Like wine uncorked to breathe the air,
my heart and mind become
The richness of this life I’ve lived,
all fortune on the run
Not looking back, but looking in,
the key to feelings past
Where hides a treasure, memory locked,
—its legacy recast
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
