Analysis of My Heart To Wander
I dreamed far into the distance
and found an ocean beyond the sand
With no beach around its borders
no surge upon the land
Its depths flow on forever
no beginning and no end
Before its waves my heart to wander
—within its tide my soul to mend
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
