Analysis of Eternity Smiles
Caught in the same web
of insecurity
To ease the pain, to emancipate
the joy
—speaking truth to our doubts
Freeing them upon the wind, all
questions unanswered
—as our voices escape
Crying out names that only heaven
will know
—while eternity smiles
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
