Cast and sent
Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
Cast and sent
Into the light of mind
Enters through the heart
In time and a sign
That casts wonders
Before the eyes
Of the blind
As the minds of children
Grow in season
And fall to the darkness
And rise in the night
As a moon in view
And a sun that soon
Rises before the face
Of each sign and place
Then it returns to them
In dividends
As a cost of the lost
That is sound in what
Is found in wonders
That cover from above
And enters as the light of mind
