Analysis of Your Song Has Sung



Can you write in spite of comment,
  can your soul withstand the pain

Can you free those words hid deepest,
  can you shoulder all the blame

Can your heart and mind together,
  walk arm in arm as one

Can you take a breath once finished,
  knowing now,
  —your song has sung

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
