Analysis of What Only The Heart Can Feel
Everything written to inspire,
—rises above our nature
Everything written to inspire,
—transports and transforms
Everything written to inspire,
—makes all that is old new again
In ways that only the heart can feel,
—and the spirit know
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2013)
