Different Light
A river, strawberry light
The sun’s rays, moonbeam sight
Colours cast, paints a scene
Inside the rainbow, inside a dream
Cast a light on pale shade
A different angle colour made
Spectrum eyes, seas of green
Dripping paintbrush, setting the scene
Stars in space, candle-light
The darkness before dawn, twilight
In the distance a semi-glow
The shepherds in the shadows, we follow
Deep in the heavens, the sun and the moon set ablaze
Aimlessly wandering through the haze
Melting moon, earth rips
Spectacular sun, solar eclipse
