Analysis of One Present
One verse with many rhymes,
one bell with many chimes
One direction with many charts,
one blood with many hearts
One journey with many stops,
one timer with many clocks
One horizon with many shores,
one boat with many oars
One gallery with many arts,
one ending with many starts
One message with many tongues,
one legion with many sons
One promise to many gave,
one present—time remade
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
