Analysis of This Light Unveils
It’s not important what I know,
but what I choose to feel
The facts once vital fall away,
my fruit now fully peeled
The numbers orphaned, the glory waived,
a whiter shade of pale
The music constant, the darkness gone,
all truth—this light unveils
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
