Analysis of My Faith In Season



I don’t need flowers,
  to have a garden

I just need seeds,
  where promise blossoms

I don’t need pieces,
  to solve a puzzle

I just need words,
  their teeth unmuzzled

I don’t need time,
  its grand illusion

I just need space,
  re-entry’s fusion

I don’t need liars,
  defying reason

I just need truth
 —my faith in season

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)
