Analysis of I HAVE WON
I Have Won
As the evening starts to settle in, and I view the Sun through the leaves like fancy lace.
The Locusts start to sing their song, and they call out to me, another day's ended and yes, I have won.
I’ve fought this illness, once again, and yes the victor I have won.
And now I know through all the pain, a better home and place awaits me there, on the other plane.
Just like the evening's gentle calmness, I view the Sun through the leaves, that sing and dance and sway with the gentle breeze.
I too, will now leave traces of shadows of where…….. I have been.
