Analysis of His Bounteous Light
My pact with God transcends your fear
and all professed religion
The faith I have, the joy I feel
not subject to your laws
My relationship is one on one
whose heart is freely given
To live inside his bounteous light
—resplendent and in awe
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)
