Analysis of Beyond Say
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
With each step forward made.
To cement and leave depicted,
As a description to stay labelled that way.
Along comes an ever evolving phenomenon.
Beyond words to say.
Or have them stick to remain permanent.
'Uh...
What is it you find that difficult to describe?
Nothing can be that phenomenal.
Is it new?'
Yes.
But no.
Yet...
Each and every time.
Like...
A Renaissance witnessed.
Again to begin...again!
As if to explore,
The limitlessness of it!
'Oh.
I can dig it.
Nothing from a big bang to boom,
Stops stretching in a massive and darkened...
Vastness.
At first,
I thought you were referring...
To the talented abilities of a human being.'
What would give you that idea?
