In light and color
Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
The night casts lights
Of the darkest of stars
That fall like the moon
In bloody view
As the sun bathes the day
In light and color
Of the bluest waters
And violet light
As the night rises
To a future blue
As a royal day
As the light and color
Never fade and the day is present
And the night has passed
Into a future and a past
That will present itself
As a truth in word
Of an eternal world
As light and color
That of the darkest of stars
That casts lights into a night
