Turned Into Song
How open is your window,
how tall is your door
How old is your virtue,
how slippery your floor
How fresh is your perception,
how broad is your scope
How clear is your reflection,
how real is your hope
How strong is your commitment,
how deep is your well
How solid are your friendships,
how many pray tell
How sweet is your melody,
how lyrical the dawn
Will your words play a rhapsody
—once turned into song
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
