Analysis of Sword In The Stone
One choice and circumstance
set us apart
Forever divergent
forever two hearts
One lasting reminder
of what can’t be fixed
The eggshells lay scattered
the pieces all nixed
In less than an instant
the future was charred
Most scarlet of letters
forgiveness stays barred
And now to requestion
the maybe’s and why’s
The Stone of Excalibur
— an easier try
