Analysis of Together They Stand
Not judged in reference,
—kindred spirits they dance
The words when spoken,
notes and palettes enhance
The music enlivens,
what phrases will say
While a painting embodies,
what verse can convey
And the only conflict,
—in the critics eye
Who sees not the harmony,
but comparisons lie
As true art travels skyward,
enjoined hand in hand
To the source of its power,
where together they stand
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
