Analysis of The hour falls

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



The hour falls
As time and space fade
Into the night As light
That covers the sky
In both moon and sun
As they fade into one
In a day and night
And then we rise
And enter through the gates
Of life and then death
As the serpents head
Turns to face us
And we smile like a child
And are not bit
But pick up the serpent
By its head and then dance
In the red of the sky
As lightening then strikes
And a voice of thunder
Is heard Throughout the earth
As the rain covers us
We then again dance
In the blue of the night
And then return as light
