Analysis of Searching And Waiting
As a Poet I’ve been everywhere,
while living in the void
As a Poet I’ve written about time,
while living outside its deception
As a Poet I’ve watched your hopes and dreams,
fade into dark memory
As a Poet I’ve searched and waited
—for what tomorrow never brings
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
