Analysis of Crossing the Border
No grasp and a terminus had been reached
definitely, not leaving any aim.
Of going back all views had been bleached,
as it would have been losing all the same.
Oppressed by fear, his legs had been lame,
but despite this, his works he extended.
Although options all in fact had ended,
and he did but paint the waves that he'd felt,
this fact made the dread's trails fully attended
and then it went. That’s how new spirit welled.
