I am going to be writting a essay on Poetry analysis of the poem "Passion" by Zora Neale Huston. I would like anyone's input of the theme, meaning (author's point), and poetry elements of the following poem:
When I look back/ On days already lived/ I am content./
For I have laughed/ with the dew of the morn,/ The calm of night;/ With the dawn of youth/ And spring's bright days./
Mid-summer's bloom/ And autumn's ripening glory/ My youth is rejoiced/
And when winter bleak/ Spread melancholy 'round/ I still smiled on./ And I have loved/ With quivering arms that/ Clung, and throbbing breast--/ With all the white-hot blood/ Of mating's flaming urge./
My cool, white soul/ Has oft fared forth/ In Astral ways,/ For non may lag/ When star dust hides the earth./
The wings of dreams/ Have swept me up/ To touch my feet on the cloud/ And wander where non/ But souls dare climb.
Thank you extra with a cherry on top. :)

It seems like she is looking back on her life, happy to know that she was content and accomplished everything she wanted to.

Not a great poem but I liked it for its positive approach.

It showed a lot of talent, when the poet gets a little deeper it might shine.

Yours truly;
