Analysis of Eternity's Wings



The last door now open,
  freedom’s been found

The air burns electric
  the words different sounds

To fly unabated
   with heavens consent

En masse celebration,
  the god’s do relent

All feeling enraptured
   new joy to be shared

The journey, the struggle
   —salvation ensnared

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
