Analysis of The Light Of Its Message



Poetry should always be given away,
  and never ever sold

Its message to open all heavens gates,
  not translate into gold

Poetry should fly on the wings of a wish,
  with hope its guiding dove

The light of its message to guide all intention
   —transforming into love

(Wayne Pennsylvania: May, 2019)
