As a view of expanse
In between light and darkness
Is a cast of colors
In a spectrum and scheme
Where those who see
Are made blind
And those blind
Are made to see
Colors of the light and waters
That fall as rain
In the night and day
As the sun and moon
Appear and disappear
And fall and rise
As a day and night
In the skyline
As a view of expanse
In the immense Of darkness
And the light
That rises As a haze
Of the heat of the day
And is both in the morning
And the evening light
