Analysis of Dreams Wade In
You filled my eyes to overflowing,
and quenched my thirsting heart
You poured your vision into my soul,
beatific to impart
All banks you flooded as dreams wade in,
and currents gently surge
My spirit safe within your flow,
re-baptized to emerge
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
