Analysis of To Rebegin
As you age and days get shorter,
do you reach out for the source
Whether family, friends, or lover,
is the pull a constant force
Is the attraction of returning,
going home to shed your sins
The final stage in your progression
—to refresh and rebegin
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
