Analysis of A Tinge Of Lilac



My window opens wider,
  as my focus narrows down

The words are now much richer,
  than what I used to think, profound

The light brings joy and substance,
  filling corners deep and closed

Its breeze now tinged with lilac,
  with all negatives exposed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
