Analysis of The Stars
Is it a memory that pushes
the future away
As wishes embody our souls
Is it a promise that opens
and closes our hearts
All hope to then console
Is it a longing that reigns
over friendship now lost
Of times once sorely blest
Is it the searching for love
and the choice to believe
The stars at our behest
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
