Analysis of EVAN
Beholden light of wisdom old
Exposing, the greatest desire of my heart
Silently waiting for redemption
A form, so small and pure
Cradled in my arms
With a spirit beyond
what mine may be
Through the windows of his soul
Secrets of unconditional love revealed
Ones known to me
not of this world
Sought after time and again, without resolve
Now here in the flesh to set me free
No more dark nights of the soul
A blossom of life
resurrected, by your untarnished perfection
This miracle born to me of late
Overwhelms with awe and wonder
My heart bursts with gratitude
And a love
unbeknownst
any other way
