Analysis of New Chance



New Chance
You bring joy to a heart that felt none,
Fading with pain from a life deemed done.
As my sight was born anew through your eyes
With vapors of love does my solitude die?
Upon the emerging of two souls becoming one.
As such is the splendor in a day's rising sun,
For that wisdom in my ear now I do adore.
Within a lesser human being I am no more.

As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane.
