Analysis of Beyond Time Allowed



My job is to make the unlikely happen
  my passion driven to embrace the bliss

My vocation seeks to find the answers
  my avocation wanders—soul remiss

My intellect bargains away the hours
  my spirit embraces each moment now

My story when told is about the journey
   that road I traveled—beyond time allowed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
