Radiance lies deep

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



Radiance lies deep
Eyes cast lights far out
Into the starry heavens
Space and time and matter
Don't stop for anyone looking
In the blink of a life
You can't see pass the past
The future Comes after
When the lights go out
On the dance the floor
The music continues to play
I hear it all every night
Voices in all directions
Silence the critics
That say we can't believe it
Its all true what he says
So much time is wasted
For something for nothing
When we have it all
