Reborn
Is life about how many,
or then about how much
Is the truth in computation,
or in what those numbers touch
Is the measurement empiric,
with a final answer shown
Is salvation in your lyrics,
with the word count still unknown
Is there faith inside the mystery,
that mere reason can’t abide
Is there something deep inside you,
that excuses cannot hide
Is there a wind that blows indulgent,
carrying an echo from before
With a voice that speaks the truest,
the one you listen to—reborn
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
