Analysis of Eternity's Door
Tonight,
I was ready to die,
But death
Wasn’t ready for me
Tonight,
I was ready to die
From the past
And a future unseen
Tonight,
I was ready to die,
But the light
Of salvation rechose
Tonight,
I was ready to die,
But the door to eternity
—was closed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
