The light inside
Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
The light inside
In turn burns inside to out
Then returns again
In enlightenment of mind
As the heart pours out
Fluency of light
As the mind takes flight
Like a falcon upon prey
Of the day and night
That oscillates
And begins without end
Of worlds that are without
A beginning and have no end
In regions unknown
He descends without end
In the beginning of a world
That circles the minds
As the light strikes
And the storm that follows
The day of stars and sun
By a full moon of view
As the night falls
And the sun goes down
And the view is full of light
