Analysis of From Beyond The Grave



I get along with
my father now,
better than when he was alive

The walls have dismantled,
the barriers down,
a clear vision to inside

The excuses we made,
 a pride that forbade,
here buried in the ground

As our spirits conjoin
to sail on the wind
—each other we have found

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
