As the light falls

Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



Colors cover the earth
As the light falls
Upon the waters azure
As a scheme of brilliance
Ensues over you
It arches across
As a primary source
And a bow that is shot
As an arrow hitting its mark
And the life is taken
And the dead are remembered
They are not forgotten
What is forgot
Is the death that follows
Upon a horse in four
As the seventh year
Brings an end to it
And a new beginning
Ushers in and out
As many enter in
And all are lost
With few who go unseen
As those who were seen
Rise again without end
