To Ignite and Amaze
Can you purchase tomorrow,
with yesterday’s wage
Can you eliminate sorrow,
still carrying your rage
Can you call out the answer,
with the question at bay
Can you set a reminder,
while forgetting your way
Can this moment unchosen,
be the instant that lasts
Can a heart still unbroken,
survive torment aghast
Can the choices you’ve made,
set the world all ablaze
Can you harness the fire,
—to ignite and amaze
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
