Divine spectrum
Arch of light
Bowed from mountain to mountain
You answer the rumble of thunder
And the wild mad rain
With Amen, Amen
In the green scented twilight
Under skies soft gray with tears
Your beauty is a fragile chord
Subtly, gently changing
With the shift of light and hue
Lilac and watered lapis
Lime and palest gold
What I could do with such music
I could fly
Stay, stay
Bright vision --
My heart's cry
While moments and moments
Wink past
The heartbeats
The seconds
Bear us away
On the tide.
