Time Untethered
My verse begins
where logic ends
Escape its mission
new light to bend
The easy answer
the convenient close
Now left to others
by others chose
Each phrase a path
that leads inside
Beyond where dogma
schemed and lied
A light there shines
unto itself
By grace of nothing
above all else
The music starts
once halfway in
To cleanse your mind
of lies and whim
Words join each note
to dance in song
All time untethered
—from right or wrong
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)
